This note is a continuation of our attempts (see [3]) to give a satisfactory representation-theoretic justification of the following formula of D. E. Littlewood:

where sI is the Schur symmetric function corresponding to a partition I, |I| is the weight of I, r(I) is the rank of I, and the summation ranges over all self-conjugate partitions (i.e. partitions I such that I = I where I is the partition conjugate to I).
