Number of Spin $I$ States of Identical Particles
  In this paper we study the enumeration of number (denoted as ${D_I}$) of spin $I$ states for fermions in a single-$j$ shell and bosons with spin $l$. We show that $D_I$ can be enumerated by the reduction from SU$(n+1)$ to SO(3). New regularities of $D_I$ are discerned.
