โฆ Synopsis
A balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) is called a row-column directed BIBD (RCDBIBD) if: (i) it is directed in the usual sense,, i.e., each ordered pair of points occurs an equal number of times in the blocks (directed column wise), and (ii) the blocks are arranged in such a way that (a) each point occurs an equal number of times in each row, and (b) each ordered pair of distinct points occurs an almost equal number of times in the rows. The present paper gives construction techniques for RCDBIBDs and proves that the necessary conditions are sufficient for the existence of RCDBIBDs with block size 2. Existence of RCDBlBDs with block size 3 and u = I mod 6 is shown and it is proved that an RCDBIBD(7,7,4,4,1*) does not exist.

Block designs with nested rowsand columns have been introduced by SINGE and DEY (1979). This note gives some results regarding the total relative loss of information and patterns of efficiency balanced block designs with nested rows and columns in variable replications of treatments.
A new series of balanced block designs with nested rows and columns is constructed using the finite Euclidian geometry. Some such designs along the line of Cheng (1986) are also considered. A result on the system of distinct representatives is seen to be helpful in the derivation.
