Using ultraproducts, N. R. Reilly proved that if G is a representable lattice-ordered group and J is an independent subset totally ordered by ≺, then the order on G can be extended to a total order which induces ≺ on J (see [5]). In [4], H. A. Hollister proved that a group G admits a total order if and only if it admits a representable order and, moreover, every latticeorder on a group is the intersection of right total orders. The purpose of this paper is to provide a partial converse, viz: if G is a lattice-ordered group and J is an independent subset totally ordered by ≺, then the order on G can be extended to a right total order which induces ≺ on J.
