The present paper is a sequel to that of J. H. Chung (2) and contains a proof of a conjecture made by him, namely, that the number of ordinary (modular) irreducible representations contained in a given p-block of Sn is independent of the p-core. A summary of the results contained herein appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (9).
