      [For part I see ibid. 70, 22-26 (1994; Zbl 0812.11024).] Let \(a= \pm m (m^4- 10m^2+ 5)\), \(b= 5m^4- 10m^2+ 1\) and \(c= m^2+ 1\), where \(m\) is an even rational integer. Assume that \(b\) is a prime and there exists an odd prime \(\ell\) such that \(ab\equiv 0\pmod \ell\) and 5 divides the order of \(c\pmod \ell\). In the paper under review it is proved that the diophantine equation \(a^x+ b^y= c^z\) has the only positive integral solution \((x, y, z) = (2, 2, 5)\). Some examples of \(m \leq 50\), \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), \(\ell\) satisfying the above conditions are given.
