As a contribution to various investigations [1-11] about packing of convex bodies with certain conditions imposed on the number of neighbours of each body, V. Chvátal [12] recently proved the following theorem: If in a packing of translates of a square each square has at least six neighbours then the density of the packing is at least 11/15.
