Abstract
Let {θ,θ1,…,θn1} denote the set having any treatment θ and its n1 first associates in a PBIB design with m(≥2) associate classes. A theorem on distribution of the elements of this set among the blocks of the block design is proved and results related to certain well known association schemes of three associate classes are obtained.
