Abstract
Given the integral lattice in -dimensional Euclidean space, partitions of the lattice nodes into orbits of finite-index subgroups of have been computed for . These partitions can be interpreted as colourings of orbits defined up to permutation of colours. Complete results are obtained for up to 64 orbits, for up to 8 orbits, and for 2 orbits in dimension 4. The automorphism groups of the partitions are also determined. Our results for two orbits in dimension 3 correct the old result of H. Heesch [Z. Kristallogr., (1933), 85, 335--344] who overlooked one partition.
