Abstract: Let

m a t h b b F_{q}

be a field with

q

elements. In this note, we study some generalized arcs, that is, sets of

m a t h b b F_{q}

-points in the projective plane

m a t h b b P^{2} (m a t h b b F_{q})

such that no six of them are on a conic. First, we consider the geometric configurations of such generalized arcs for small values of

q

and then we give some upper and lower bounds for the cardinality of complete generalized arcs, i.e. generalized arcs which are not contained in a bigger one.
