✦ Synopsis

In this paper we show that BIBD(v; b; r; k; ), where v = pq or pq + 1, when written in the notation of Bose's method of di erences may often be used to ÿnd generalized Bhaskar Rao designs GBRD(p; b ; r ; k; ; G) where G is a group of order q and vice versa.

This gives many new GBRDs including a GBRD(9; 5; 5; Z5) and a GBRD(13; 7; 7; Z7).
