    From the author's introduction: In continuing our work of a previous paper [Part I, Duke Math. J. 20, 563--567 (1953; Zbl 0053.30101)], we prove theorems of the following type. Let \(X\) be a finite-dimensional compact metric space, let \(G\) be a finite transformation group on \(X\), and let \(Y\) be an orbit space for \((X,G)\). If \(X\) is either (i) homologically trivial over \(K\) where \(K\) is a compact abelian group, or (ii) an absolute neighborhood retract, or (iii) an absolute retract, so also is \(Y\).
