    In an earlier paper [ibid. 15, 261-276 (1984; Zbl 0551.60022)] the author used harmonic analysis to obtain a central limit theorem for rotation- invariant random variables on the symmetric space of the special linear group of 2 by 2 real matrices of determinant one. The present paper generalizes the result to the symmetric space of the general linear group of 3 by 3 nonsingular real matrices.
