## Abstract Let __SS__~__R__~(__v__, 3) denote the set of all integer __b__\* such that there exists a __RTS__(__v__, 3) with __b__\* distinct triples. In this paper, we determine the set __SS__~__R__~(__v__, 3) for __v__ โก 3 (mod 6) and __v__ โฅ 3 with only five undecided cases. We establish that _

โฆ Synopsis
The spectrum of possible numbers of distinct blocks in a threefold triple system of order u is determined.
Let m, = [u(u -1)/6]. A threefold triple system with u = 1, 3 (mod 6) elements can have any number of distinct blocks from, and only from, {m,, m, + 4, m, +6, m, + 7;.., 3m,} provided u # 3, 7, 9. A threefold triple system with u = 5 (mod 6) elements can have any number of distinct blocks from, and only from, {m, + 7, m, + 10, m, + 11, .
,3m, + 1).
