Abstract
The field equation derived in Part I (Griffith,Bull. Math. Biophysics,25, 111–120, 1963a) is examined further. The stability of critical solutions is investigated and it is shown that, at least in certain cases, general solutions tend toward critical solutions. The relationship between the present field theory and a conventional matrix formulation is derived.
