A finite linear space S is called an n-fold Bolyai-Lobachevski (B-L space) if there is an integer \(s>0\) such that for any set of n mutually disjoint lines \(L_ 1,L_ 2,...L_ n\), any point outside \(\cup^{n}_{i=1}L_ i\) is on exactly s lines disjoint from \(\cup^{n}_{i=1}L_ i\). The author proves that if S is a 2-fold B-L space, then it is one of the following; (i) A projective space of dimension \(\leq 3\); (ii) A degenerate projective plane, or a generalized projective 3-space having two disjoint lines of the same size, or a generalized projective space in which all ines have two points; (iii) A projective plane of order q from which k collinear points have been removed \((0\leq k\leq q+1,k\neq q))\); (iv) An affine plane from which either one point or one line has been removed.
