As is well known, the second-order system of Frege's ``Grundgesetze der Arithmetik is inconsistent: Russell's Paradox is derivable. For this, often only Frege's ``Axiom V (the extensionality of the value-ranges, the ``Wertverläufe) is blamed. The author proves, however, that this Axiom V -- even taken as a schema -- is consistent with a ``simple second-order predicative system allowing no references to value-ranges in the defining formulas for value-ranges. And he sketches that this consistency result holds also true for a full predicative second-order system including Axiom V (and having a type-theoretic structure for the well-formed value-range terms). Within this full system, Robinson arithmetic is interpretable.
