This paper may be regarded as a sequel to (1), where the initial value or Cauchy problem for harmonic tensors on a normal hyperbolic Riemann space was treated. The mixed problems to be studied here involve boundary conditions on a timelike boundary surface in addition to the Cauchy data on a spacelike initial manifold. The components of a harmonic tensor satisfy a system of wave equations with similar principal part, and we assign two initial conditions and one boundary condition for each component.
