We explicitly determine the locations of G orbifold conformal field theories, G=Z_M, M=2,3,4,6, G=\hat D_n, n=4,5, or G the binary tetrahedral group \hat T, within the moduli space M^{K3} of N=(4,4) superconformal field theories associated to K3. This is achieved purely from the known description of the moduli space [AM94] and the requirement of a consistent embedding of orbifold conformal field theories within M^{K3}. We calculate the Kummer type lattices for all these orbifold limits. Our method allows an elementary derivation of the B-field values in direction of the exceptional divisors that arise from the orbifold procedure [Asp95,Dou97,BI97], without recourse to D-geometry. We show that our consistency requirement fixes these values uniquely and determine them explicitly. The relation of our results to the classical McKay correspondence is discussed.

    The holomorphic symplectic automorphism group of a Z3-orbifold K3 is (Z3)^2 ⋊ Z4, realized inside M12 and M24, and it combines with Kummer symmetries to generate M24.
