1. This is a continuation of my paper [7] with the same title, which will be referred to as D', and which has to be supplemented in the manner described below in Appendix I. Indeed, the present paper is nothing else than a combination of the ideas of D' with the method of variation of structure, as applied to special types of semisimple groups by Calabi and by Calabi-Vesentini in their recent work'. We shall mainly be concerned with semisimple groups without compact components, i.e., with connected semisimple Lie groups having no connected compact normal subgroup. However, we begin by considering any connected Lie group G having at least one discrete subgroup with compact quotient; this implies that G is unimodular (it would even be enough for this to assume that G has a discrete subgroup H such that G/H has a finite measure, for the measure determined on G/Hby a right-invariant measure on G). Let n be the dimension of G; choose a basis X1, * , Xn for the space of right-invariant vector-fields on G; we have
