%X Recent work on nonlinear double-diffusive convection in a low Prandtl number fluid is extended to the case of a moderate Prandtl number G'. The boundary layer method is used by assuming a large Rayleigh number R for different ranges of the diffusivity ratio -c and the solute Rayleigh number R; It is found that the heat and solute fluxes F and F; increase with G', Rand n;', and that F; F- 1 is independent of G'. The flow is shown to have a solute layer of thickness proportional to F-1-2, The horizontal wavenumber which maximizes F is found to be independent of G', but it increases with Rand R;1
