In a previous paper (18), G = F/Fn was studied for F a free product of a finite number of cyclic groups, and Fn the normal subgroup generated by commutators of weight n. In that paper the following cases were completely treated:

(a) F a free product of cyclic groups of order pαi, p a prime, αi positive integers, and n = 4, 5, … , p + 1.

(b) F a free product of cyclic groups of order 2αi, and n = 4.

In this paper, the following case is completely treated:

(c) F a free product of cyclic groups of order pαi p a prime, αi positive integers, and n = p + 2.

(Note that n = 2 is well known, and n — 3 was studied by Golovin (2).) By ‘'completely treated” is meant: a unique representation of elements of the group is given, and the order of the group is indicated. In the case of n = 4, a multiplication table was given.
