Summary:
Let $G$ be a group with the property that there are no infinite descending chains of non-subnormal subgroups of $G$ for which all successive indices are infinite. The main result is that if $G$ is a locally (soluble-by-finite) group with this property then either $G$ has {\it all\/} subgroups subnormal or $G$ is a soluble-by-finite minimax group. This result fills a gap left in an earlier paper by the same authors on groups with the stated property.
