Abstract
We apply the general construction developed in our previous papers to the first nontrivial case of GrTP(2, 4). In particular, we construct finite-gap real quasi-periodic solutions of the KP-II equation in the form of a soliton lattice corresponding to a smooth M-curve of genus 4 which is a desingularization of a reducible rational M-curve for soliton data in GrTP(2, 4).
