Abstract
The set of all essentially different nontwisting type-N solutions with cosmological constant is presented in such a tetrad gauge and coordinatization that the metric depends linearly on an arbitrary structural function. The special branches of the solutions of this type are shown to amount to the contractions of the most general branch.Keywords
