The aim of this paper is to enumerate all equivalence classes of perfect septenary forms with Δ4 = 2. This is an important section of the complete enumeration of perfect septenary forms by the method which was outlined in Stacey (1975). There are nine equivalence classes of these forms, four of which were announced for the first time in Stacey (1975). This work forms part of the author's D. Phil, thesis and was done at Oxford under the supervision of Dr. B. J. Birch.
