The purpose of this note is to continue the author's study of the automorphisms of certain factors of type II1 Namely, those factors arising from the left regular representation of a free nonabelian group. Our main result shows that the outer conjugacy classes of automorphisms of such a factor are not countably separated. This had previously been shown only when the number of free generators was assumed to be infinite.
