    In this paper, the spatial Newtonian \(2n\)-body problem with equal masses is studied, and a family of spatial double choreographies are found. ``This family has the common feature that half of the masses are circling around the z-axis clockwise along a spatial loop. The motions of the other half of the masses are given by a rotation of the first half around the x-axis by $\pi$. Both loops are simple, without any self-intersection, and symmetric with respect to the xz-plane and yz-plane. The set of intersection points between the two loops is contained in the xy-plane. The number of such double choreographies grows exponentially as n goes to infinity.'' \par There is no paragraph into the introduction of the paper, that explain what the following sections include. Finally, there is no a separate paragraph at the end of the paper with the conclusions of the paper.
