In [6] the question of the existence of perfect e-codes in the infinite family of distance-transitive graphs Ok was considered. It was pointed out that it is difficult to rule out completely any particular value of e because of the difficulty of working with the sphere packing condition. For e= 1, 2, 3 it can be seen from the results of [6] that the condition given by the generalisation of Lloyd's theorem is satisfied for infinitely many values of k. We shall show that this is not the case for e=4 and we shall prove that there are no perfect 4-codes in Ok.
