1. In a previous paper, ((1)), we have discussed problems which arise in finding a matrix which is in some sense stronger than each of a set of regular summability matrices. We intend in this paper to clear up other problems in this subject. We shall retain the notation and definitions of (1) throughout, but shall later modify one set of definitions in the light of some of our results. In this paper, the term matrix will be reserved for regular summability matrices. Also, u will be used to denote the unit sequence, u = {un} = {1} and h(A) will be used to denote the norm of the matrix A = (amn), i.e.
