    The behaviour of the contact process on infinite connected graphs of bounded degree is studied, and some problems left open in Part I of the paper [ibid. 25, No. 4, 1846-1871 (1997; Zbl 0903.60085)] are solved. Attention is paid to continuity properties of the survival probability and the recurrence probability; in particular it is shown that for homogeneous graphs the survival probability can only be discontinuous at the survival point, and the recurrence probability can only be discontinuous at the recurrence point.
