Necessary and sufficient conditions are given to embed a maximum packing of K,, with 4-cycles into a maximum packing of K, with 4-cycles, both when the leave of the given packing is preserved, and when the leave of the given packing is not necessarily preserved.

✦ Synopsis
In this paper we complete the work begun by Mendelsohn and Rosa and by Hartman, finding necessary and sufficient conditions for a maximum packing with triples of order m MPT(m) to be embedded in an MPT(n). We also characterize when it is possible to embed an MPT(m) with leave LI in an MPT(n) with leave L2 in such a way that L1 C L2.

## Abstract The obvious necessary conditions for the existence of a nested Steiner triple system of order __v__ containing a nested subsystem of order __w__ are __v__ ≥ 3__w__ + 4 and __v__ ≡ w ≡ 1 (mod 6). We show that these conditions are also sufficient. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
