IN THIS paper we first complete the diffeomorphism classi6cation of almost-closed (s-I)-connected (2s-t-I)-manifolds P. We compute the Grothendieck group 9zs+ l of such P modulo as those obtained from boundaries of handlebodies. The diffeomorphism class of the boundary of P depends only on the class of P in 92” I, which has order at most 8. We give applications of this result, and an interpretation of Yzs+ l as a cobordism group. In a final section, we compare our information on exotic spheres with a construction due to Milnor.
