It is shown that A [n11, n101, n111, q, N], the arrangement degeneracy arising when q indistinguishable particles are placed on a one‐dimensional lattice of N equivalent compartments so that n11 occupied nearest neighbors, n101 next nearest neighbors of the 101‐type, and n111 next nearest neighbors of the 111‐type are created, is given by A[n11, n101, n111, q, N]=(N−2q+n11+2q−n11−n101)(q−n11−1n101)(q−n11n11−n111)(n11−1n111). The normalization and first moment of the next nearest neighbor density are determined. Similar results for the vacant next nearest neighbor degeneracy are also presented.
