In this paper we give a proof of the II 1 2 ‐completeness of the set of countable better quasi orderings (viewed as a subset of the Cantor space). This result was conjectured by Clote in [2] and proved by the author in his Ph.d. thesis [6] (see also [7]). Here we prove it using Simpson's definition of better quasi ordering ([15]) and as little bqo theory as possible.
