Communicated by J.E. Fenstad Received 18 December 1982; revised 8 July 1983 Using the core model K we determine better lower bounds for the consistency strength of some combinatorial principles: I. Assume that A is a Jonsson cardinal which is ‘accessible’ in the sense that at least one of (l)-(4) holds: (1) A is a successor cardinal; (2) A = oE and 6
