โฆ Synopsis
We classify the flocks of quadratic cones in PG(3, q), q odd, that admit the group G โค PGL(4, q) acting doubly transitively on the conics of the flock. This yields, in conjunction with a predecessor to this paper, a complete classification of the doubly transitive oval and quadratic flocks in PG(3, q), for all prime powers q.

We classify the doubly transitive affine designs. The proof uses the classification of the multiply transitive permutation groups.
Each symplectic group over the field of two elements has two exceptional doubly transitive actions on sets of quadratic forms on the defining symplectic vector space. This paper studies the associated 2-modular permutation modules. Filtrations of these modules are constructed which have subquotients
We prove that the finite linear spaces containing a proper linear subspace and admitting an automorphism group which is transitive on the unordered pairs of intersecting lines are the projective and affine spaces of dimension ~3, unless all lines have size 2.
