The stability and the stream lines of the symmetrical and unsymmetrical double rows in a channel have already been discussed by the author. It is the object of this paper to investigate the possibility of the existence of a double row whose axis is parallel to, and not necessarily coincident with, the axis of the channel. It will be seen that, if the system of vortices is to move forward as a whole, then the only possible types of double row are those that have been discussed previously, that is, the symmetrical and unsymmetrical systems, and in both of these cases the centre lines of the row and channel are coincident. It was shown previously that the symmetrical row is always unstable and that the unsymmetrical system is stable within a particular domain of stability.
