Abstract
In a previous paper [8] the authors have shown that every ovoid ofPG(3, 16) is an elliptic quadric. The arguments used a computer and also depended on the computer-aided classification of hyperovals ofPG(2, 16) (see [3]). Recently (see [9]) the classification of hyperovals ofPG(2,16) has been obtained without the use of a computer. The present paper completes a computer-free proof that every ovoid ofPG(3,16) is an elliptic quadric.
