We give examples of a Vitali set and a Hamel basis which are Marczewski measurable and perfectly dense. The Vitali set example answers a question posed by Jack Brown. We also show there is a Marczewski null Hamel basis for the reals, although a Vitali set cannot be Marczewski null. The proof of the existence of a Marczewski null Hamel basis for the plane is easier than for the reals and we give it first. We show that there is no easy way to get a Marczewski null Hamel basis for the reals from one...
