    The set of all Vassiliev invariants of order at most \(n\) forms a vector space \(V_n\). The dimensions and the bases are known only in the case that order is small. In the paper under review, the author restricts the Vassiliev invariants of order at most \(n\) to Trapp's twist sequence, and he estimates the dimensions of the spaces of them by using an \(n\)-similarity.
