Let k be a totally real algebraic number field, the maximal order of k, and let L (resp. M) be a Z-lattice of a positive definite quadratic space U (resp. V) over the field Q of rational numbers. Suppose that there is an isometry σ from L onto M. We have shown that the assumption implies σ(L) = M in some cases in [2]. Our aim in this paper is to improve the results of [2]. In § 1 we introduce the notion of E-type: Let L be a positive definite quadratic lattice over Z.
