A continuum is indecomposable if it is not the sum of two proper subcontinua It is hereditarily indecomposable if each of its subcontinua is indecomposable. In [3] Knaster gave an example of a hereditarily indecomposable continuum which was not a point. In this paper we study some properties of the Knaster example and describe some other hereditarily indecomposable continua.
