In this paper, two new direct construction methods are given for holey self‐orthogonal Latin squares with a symmetric orthogonal mate (HSOLSSOMs). Some new HSOLSSOMs using already known methods are also given. The known existence results for HSOLSSOMs of types 1 m u 1 and h n are improved; for type 1 m u 1 there remain just four possible exceptions with u odd and 3 ≤  u  ≤ 15; for type h n , there are just two possible exceptions remaining, for ( h , n ) = (6, 12) and (6, 18). As a byproduct, the known existence results for three holey mutually orthogonal Latin squares (3 HMOLS) are also improved. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Combin Designs 9: 435–444, 2001
