## Abstract In this article, we provide a direct construction for 8 mutually orthogonal latin squares (MOLS)(48). Using this design together with one of Wilson's recursive constructions produces 8 new MOLS(__v__) for 88 other values of __v__. We also mention a few other new sets of 8 and 12 MOLS ob

Abstract
In this paper, three new direct Mutually Orthogonal Latin Squares (MOLS) constructions are presented for 7 MOLS(24), 7 MOLS(75) and 8 MOLS(36); then using recursive methods, several new constructions for 7 and 8 MOLS are obtained. These reduce the largest value for which 7 MOLS are unknown from 780 to 570, and the largest odd value for which 8 MOLS are unknown from 1935 to 419. ยฉ 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
