By applying mainly design-theoretic methods, we determine the triangle spectrum for all v ≡ 1 or 3 (mod 6), v ≥ 43, as well as for v = 7, 9, 13, 15, 21, and 27. For orders v = 19, 25, 31, 33, 37, 39, we leave only a total of 11 values undecided. To determine the triangle-spectrum for v ≡ 5 (mod 6) remains an open problem. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
