As a first step towards the general classification of correlations of finite Desarguesian planes, we present, up to isomorphism, all the correlations with identity companion automorphism which are not polarities, of such planes.

โฆ Synopsis
The present article represents the next step in our ongoing program of classifying the correlations of finite Desarguesian planes.
We show that in PG(2, q 2n ), the correlations defined by diagonal matrices, with companion automorphism (q m ), where (m, 2n) = 1, have the following numbers of absolute points: q 2n + q n+2q n+1 + 1 or q 2nq n+1 + q n + 1 or (q n + 1) 2 for n odd; q 2nq n+2 + q n+1 + 1 or q 2n + q n+1q n + 1 or (q n -1) 2 for n even.
We also discuss the equivalence classes into which these correlations fall, as well as the configurations of their sets of absolute points.

First we define relations between the u = (s\* + s + 1) (s + 1) flags (point-line incident pairs) of a finite projective plane of order s. Two flags a E (p, 1) and b = (p', l'), where p and p' are two points and 1 and 1' are two lines of the projective plane, are defined to
