contents It is shown that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the triple cone. More generally if $κ$ is a cardinal such that $2 \leq κ\leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ then the $κ$-fold cone has the same fundamental group as the double cone. The isomorphisms produced are non-constructive, and no isomorphism between the fundamental group of the $2$- and of the $κ$-fold cones, with $2 < κ$, can be realized via continuous mappings. We also prove a conjecture of James W. Cannon and Gregory R. Conner which states that the fundamental group of the Griffiths double cone space is isomorphic to that of the harmonic archipelago.
