Part I appeared in [Ann. Global Anal. geom. 18, No. 5, 474-475 (2000; Zbl 0960.35074)]. Can one ``hear the shape of a drum'', or more technically, can domains of different shape be isospectral? The negative answer to this famous question (of M. Kac) was given by \textit{C. Gordon, D. Webb} and \textit{S. Wolpert} [Invent. Math. 110, No.~1, 1-22 (1992; Zbl 0778.58068)]. There are however classes of domains where the answer is ``yes''. The author obtains such domains in the plane. His main statment is as follows: For a given domain \( \Omega \) in the plane denote by \(M\) its area and by \(L\) the length of its boundary. Then there is \( \delta _{0} >0\) with the following property: For every \(L>0\), \(M >0\) satisfying \(0 < L ^{2}/(4 \pi) -M < \delta _{0} \) there exists a (non-disk) domain \( \Omega \) which is determined by the Dirichlet (or by the Neumann) spectrum of the Laplacian.
