      A packing of congruent n-balls in \(E^ n\) with each member having at least k neighbours is said to be a k-neighbour packing. It is shown that any 21-neighbour packing of congruent 4-balls has positive density, and a construction of a corresponding 0 density packing for \(k=18\) is presented.
