Abstract
This note is a continuation of the paper of the same title by the second author. Basic relations are given for the Burnside group B(8, 2) up to the tenth term (inclusive) of a nilpotent filtration. No nontrivial relations within the limits of this degree of accuracy are discovered. An error in the previous paper is pointed out. The structure of a maximal metabelian group of exponent 8 with two generators is elucidated.
