Abstract: If a category B with Yoneda embedding Y : B \Gamma! CAT(B
op
; set) has an adjoint string,
U a V a W a X a Y; then B is equivalent to set.

1 Introduction
The statement of the Abstract was implicitly conjectured in [9]. Here we establish the
conjecture. We will see that it suffices to assume that B has an adjoint string V a W a X a Y
with V pullback preserving.
