    [For part I see Chin. Ann. Math. 3, 483-502 (1982; Zbl 0545.32003); part III: ibid., Ser. B 4 (1983; Zbl 0573.32006); part IV: ibid., Ser. B 5, 21-36 (1984; see the review below).] Singular integrals play an important role in solving the Cauchy problem for partial differential equations. \textit{J. Hadamard} [''Lectures on Cauchy problem in linear partial differential equations'' (Dover 1952 or Oxford 1923)] has developed a method to solve the Cauchy problem for partial differential equations of hyperbolic type. According to Hadamard's idea, \textit{C. Fox} [Can. J. Math. 9, 110-117 (1957; Zbl 0077.061)] defined the so called Hadamard principal value of a special kind of singular integral (a generalization of the Cauchy principal value), obtained a corresponding Plemelj formula and solved the boundary value problem and singular integral equations with the aid of these tools. In this series of papers the authors generalize this concept to Cauchy integrals in several complex variables. Let \(S:=\partial B=\{z\in {\mathbb{C}}^ n| \sum^{n}_{j=1}z_ j\bar z_ j=1\}.\) Here B is the open unit ball in the complex Euclidian n- space \({\mathbb{C}}^ n\) [see also \textit{Sheng Kung} and \textit{Jihua Shi}, Proc. Hangzhou Conf. 1981, 181-185 (1984; Zbl 0565.32003)]. Let \(\alpha >0\), \(\beta >0\), \(n\in {\mathbb{N}}\), \[ A_ n^{(\alpha,\beta)} := -\frac {2^{n+}\sqrt{\alpha}(n-1)}{\pi(2n-1)} Im \int^{1}_{0} \frac{x^{n-2}dx}{\left(x-i(\alpha /\beta)\sqrt{1-x^ 2}\right)^{n- }}, \] \(v\in S\), \(f: S\to \mathbb{R}\) be an appropriate function, \[ \sigma_{\varepsilon}(\alpha,\beta,v) := \left\{u\in S: \alpha^ 2\left(1-\left| \sum^{n}_{j=1}v_ j\bar u_ j \right|^ 2\right)^ 2 + 4\beta^ 2\left(Im\sum^{n}_{j=1}v_ j\bar u_ j\right)^ 2>\varepsilon^ 2\right\}, \] \(\omega\) \({}_{2n-1}\) be the area of S and \(\dot u\) the element of the area. Then the authors call \[ \begin{multlined} P \left( \frac{1}{\omega_{2n-1}} \int_{S} \frac{f(u)\dot u}{\left(1-\sum^{n}_{j=1}v_ j\bar u_ j\right)^{n+}}\right) := \\ := \lim_{\varepsilon\to0} \frac{1}{\omega_{2n-1}} \int_{\sigma_{\varepsilon}(\alpha,\beta,v)} \frac{f(u)\dot u}{\left(1-\sum^{n}_{j=1}v_ j\bar u_ j\right)^{n+}} - \left(1/\sqrt{\varepsilon}\right)A_ n(\alpha,\beta)f(v) \end{multlined} \] the Hadamard principal value of the Cauchy integral \(\int_{S}\frac{f(u)\dot u}{(1-\sum^{n}_{j=1}v_ j\bar u_ j)^{n+}}.\) In this part II the authors show (see theorem (2.2)), that the Hadamard principal value is well defined, i.e. independent of the choice of \(\alpha\), \(\beta\). Moreover they obtain the following Plemelj formula (see theorems (3.3) and (3.4)) \[ P \left( \frac{1}{\omega_{2n-1}} \int_{S} \frac{f(u)\dot u} {\left(1 - \sum^{n}_{j=1}v_ j\bar u_ j\right)^{n+}}\right) = K - \lim_{z\to p_ n} \frac{1}{\omega_{2n-1}} \int_{S} \frac{f(u)\dot u} {\left(1 - \sum^{n}_{j=1}z_ j\bar u_ j\right)^{n+}}. \] Here \(p_ n=(0,...,0,1)\), \(v\in S\) and \(K-\lim_{z\to p_ n}\) is the \(K\)-limit, introduced by \textit{A. Koranyi} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 135, 507--516 (1969; Zbl 0174.388)]. It is announced, that these results can be generalized to strictly pseudoconvex domains D with smooth boundary.
