This note studies cardinal numbers κ which have a partition property which amounts to the following. Let ν be a cardinal, η an ordinal limit number and m a positive integer. Let the m-length sequences of finite subsets of κ be partitioned into ν parts. Then there is a sequence H1, … Hm of subsets of κ, each having order type η, such that for each choice of non-zero numbers n1, …, nm there is some class of the partition inside which fall all sequences having in their i-th place (for i = 1, …, m) a subset of Hi which contains exactly ni elements. The case when m = 1 is thus seen to be the well known property κ . The most interesting results obtained relate to the ordering of the least cardinals with the appropriate properties as m and η vary.
