Inequalities are obtained between the various parameters of a distance-regular graph. In particular, if k1 is the valency and k2 is the number of vertices at distance two from a given vertex, then in general k1 ⩽ k2. For distance-regular graphs of diameter at least four, k1=k2 if and only if the graph is simply a circuit. However when the diameter is two or three there are distance-regular graphs other than circuits for which k1=k2.
