The author has recently shown [11] that the hyperspace of subcontinua of a solenoid is homeomorphic to the cone over that solenoid. This is an interesting result, for it is the first time that the hyperspace of subcontinua of a complicated space has been recognized. This homeomorphism, moreover, is the expected map; it maps the singletons onto the base of the cone and the point corresponding to the whole space onto the vertex of the cone. We say that spaces for which such natural homeomorphisms exist have the cone = hyperspace property. In the first section we prove the following theorem.
