[For the entire collection see Zbl 0727.00008.] The semilinear space \(S\) is called a partial \(\alpha\)-geometry of order \((s,t)\), where \(\alpha,s,t\) are positive integers, if \begin{itemize} \item[1)] every line of \(S\) has \(s+1\) points, \item[2)] every point of \(S\) is on \(t+1\) lines, \item[3)] if \((P,y)\) is an antiflag then there are exactly \(\alpha\) points on \(y\) collinear with \(P\). \end{itemize} By the \((pG.A_ m.pG)\) the authors denote the diagram of rank \(n=m+2\) of the shape: \[ \underset{r}\bigcirc \eqcirc \underbrace{\underset{s}\bigcirc {-} \underset{s}\bigcirc \cdots \underset{s}\bigcirc {-} \underset{s}\bigcirc}_{m\text{ nodes, }m\geq{1}} \eqcirc \underset{t}\bigcirc \] where \(r,s,t\) are finite parameters, \(s>1\). The stroke \(\bigcirc {-} \bigcirc\) represents the family of projective planes and \(\bigcirc\eqcirc\bigcirc\) denotes the class of partial geometries. All geometries considered in this paper are residually connected. The authors using the intersection property or some of its equivalent formulations (Int statement), give the list of the most important examples of geometries belonging to \((pG.A_ m.pG)\). The main result (Theorem 35) of this paper shows that almost all geometries satisfying Int property belonging to the diagram \((pG.A_ m.pG)\) are known.
