The class of non-metacyclic finite soluble groups known to have 2-generator 2-relation presentations is small. Classes of such groups are given in (3), (4), (8) and (9). Some subclasses of the groups discussed in (1) and (2) also provide examples, while a class of finite nilpotent 2-generator 2-relation groups is given by Macdonald in (7).
