In this paper we further discuss the embedding problem for nearly Kirkman triple systems and get the result that: (1) For u drop v drop 0(mod 6), v greater than or equal to 78, and u greater than or equal to 3.5v, there exists an NKTS(u) containing a sub-NKTS(v). (2) For v = 18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66 or 72, there exists an NKTS(u) containing a sub-NKTS(v) if and only if u drop 0 (mod 6) and u greater than or equal to 3v. (C) 2002 Elsevier B.V.
