The method of the preceding paper is used to construct compact and accurate integral-transform wave functions for the four lowest excited states of the helium-like ions. Convergence studies of the energy and various expectation values are presented for the 21S, and 23S, states of the helium atom. Parallelotope parameters and energies are given for the 21S, 23S, 21P, and 23P states of the ions from He through Mg10+. A brief discussion of the prospects for extending the method to many-electron systems is included.
