review text: Summary: Proctor's work on staircase plane partitions yields an exact enumeration of lozenge tilings of a halved hexagon on the triangular lattice. Rohatgi later extended this tiling enumeration to a halved hexagon with a triangle cut off from the boundary. In Part I [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 32, No. 1, 783--814 (2018; Zbl 1383.05015)], the author proved a common generalization of Proctor's and Rohatgi's results by enumerating lozenge tilings of a halved hexagon in the case an array of an \textit{arbitrary} number of triangles has been removed from a non-staircase side. In this paper we consider the other case when the array of triangles has been removed from the staircase side of the halved hexagon. Our result also implies an explicit formula for the number of tilings of a hexagon with an array of triangles removed perpendicularly to the symmetry axis.
