Combining two concepts of regularity of graphs, namely k-isoregularity and the t-vertex condition, a generalization of a classical result by Hestenes and Higman is presented. As an application it is shown that two infinite series of graphs constructed by Brouwer, Ivanov, and Klin which are not rank

✦ Synopsis
The scheme associated with a graph is an association scheme iff the graph is strongly regular. Consider the problem of extending such an association scheme to a superscheme. The obstacles can be expressed in terms of t-vertex conditions. If a graph does not satisfy the t-vertex condition, a presuperscheme associated with it cannot be erected beyond the (t -3)rd level. We give an example of an association scheme which is not extendible to a superscheme: it cannot be extended beyond the bottom level of a presuperscheme.

We examine the existing constructions of the smallest known vertex-transitive graphs of a given degree and girth 6. It turns out that most of these graphs can be described in terms of regular lifts of suitable quotient graphs. A further outcome of our analysis is a precise identification of which of
