%X The characteristics of bursts of spectral type II are studied in a sample of 65 bursts. Approximately half the bursts show harmonic structure and about half are compound type III-type II events. Band splitting, the doubling of both the fundamental and second harmonic bands, is also relatively common. A rather less common feature is the appearance of herring-bone structure in which the slowly drifting band of the type II burst appears to be a source from which rapidly drifting elements diverge towards lower and higher frequencies.
