      A complete metric is constructed on the set \({\mathcal S}(X)\) of semi-metrics on a set \(X\). It is shown that a number of subsets of \({\mathcal S} (X)\) are closed, hence also complete, with respect to the metric. The ideas are then applied to the space of \(m\) times continuously differentiable Riemannian metrics on a smooth metrisable manifold. The main result links a metric on a component of this space with a uniform structure. [For part I see \textit{G. Salomonsen}, ibid. 29, No. 3-4, 355-360 (1996; Zbl 0864.58005)].
