Abstract
From a symmetric balanced incomplete block design we may construct a derived design by deleting a block and its varieties. But a design with the parameters of a derived design may not be embeddable in a symmetric design. Bhattacharya (1) has such an example with λ = 3 . When λ = 1, the derived design is a finite Euclidean plane and this can always be embedded in a corresponding symmetric design which will be a finite projective plane.
