In this note, we give simpler proofs of results obtained, regarding the necessary conditions for existence of certain unsymmetrical PBIB designs having group divisible, triangular and $L_i$ association schemes, in [5]. We also give simpler proofs of the necessary conditions for the existence of affine $\alpha$-resolvable $GD(m, n), T(n), L_i(s)$ and BIB designs obtained in [6]. We follow the notation of these two papers throughout this note. We finally obtain necessary conditions for the dual of a design $D$, to be a specified design $E$.
