Abstract
A metric space is {\em indivisible} if for every colouring there exists and a copy of in so that for all . The metric space is {\em homogeneus} if for every isometry of a finite subspace of to a subspace of there exists an isometry of onto extending . A homogeneous metric space with set of distances is an Urysohn metric space if every finite metric space with set of distances a subset of has an isometry into . The main result of this paper states that all countable Urysohn metric spaces with a finite set of distances are indivisible.
