In this paper we show that if X is an s-distance set in ℝm and X is on p concentric spheres then \( {\left| X \right|} \leqslant {\sum\nolimits_{i = 0}^{2p - 1} {{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {{m + s - i - 1}} \\ {{s - i}} \\ \end{array} } \right)}} } \) Moreover if X is antipodal, then \( {\left| X \right|} \leqslant 2{\sum\nolimits_{i = 0}^{p - 1} {{\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {{m + s - 2i - 2}} \\ {{m - 1}} \\ \end{array} } \right)}} } \).
