Certain questions about the range of finite embeddings of a finite amalgam were discussed in [3]. Another pertinent question is the following.

If a finite reduced amalgam has both an infinite and a finite embedding, does it have a maximal finite embedding such that all other finite embeddings are its homomorphic images? We give a counter example to answer this question in the negative. The finite amalgam considered will involve a group from the family of groups of the type (l, m; n, k) discussed by Coxeter [2] having the following presentation

These groups may be regarded as factor groups of

which is known to be finite if

and infinite otherwise.
