Formulae for the numbers of two, three, and four‐line configurations in a Steiner triple system of order v , STS( v ), are given. While the formulae for two and three‐line configurations depend only on v , the same is true for only 5 of the 16 four‐line configurations. For the other 11 and fixed v , the number of occurrences of any one of them, in particular the Pasch configuration, determines the number of occurrences of all the others. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
