A k-crossing family in a point set S in general position is a set of k segments spanned by points of S such that all k segments mutually cross. In this short note we present two statements on crossing families which are based on sets of small cardinality: (1) Any set of at least 15 points contains a crossing family of size 4. (2) There are sets of n points which do not contain a crossing family of size larger than 8⌈n/41⌉. Both results improve the previously best known bounds.
