A subclass of algebraically special space-times for general-relativistic rotating perfect fluids is investigated analytically. The space-times considered belong to Wainwright (1970 and 1974) classes I (in which K, the geodesic shear-free repeated principal null eigenvector of the Weyl tensor, is twisting but nonexpanding) and II (in which K is twist-free but expanding); the subclass comprises those class I and II space-times for which the Einstein field equations can be reduced to the same system of two second-order coupled differential equations. The results of Kramer (1984), who reduced these equations to a single third-order differential equation, are generalized, and solutions are obtained for different assumptions regarding K. The space-time metrics for classes I and II and expressions for the class-I pressure, mass-energy density, and zero-pressure surface are given.
