## Abstract It has been communicated by P. Manca in this journal that all 4‐regular connected planar graphs can be generated from the graph of the octahedron using simple planar graph operations. We point out an error in the generating procedure and correct it by including an additional operation.

Abstract
We prove that all 3‐connected 4‐regular planar graphs can be generated from the Octahedron Graph, using three operations. We generated these graphs up to 15 vertices inclusive. Moreover, by including a fourth operation we obtain an alternative to a procedure by Lehel to generate all connected 4‐regular planar graphs from the Octahedron Graph. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Let c k be the smallest number of vertices in a regular graph with valency k and girth 8. It is known that c k+1 ≥ 2(1+k+k 2 +k 3 ) with equality if and only if there exists a finite generalized quadrangle of order k. No such quadrangle is known when k is not a prime power. In this case, small regul
