N1 - Funding Information:
We would like to thank D . Hartill for recommending the use of charge division for reading out both anodes and pickup strips . We would also like to acknowledge the contribution of L. Garren, A. Jawahery, P. Thoma and V. Sharma during the early stages of R & D of the system, of Ha Lam, Dwight Widger, B. Heltsley and the staff of Cornell's Laboratory of Nuclear Science during the installation in CLEO II. We thank the director and staff of the Frascati Laboratory of INFN who allowed us to use their equipment and laboratory and helped us in the process of coating with graphite and cutting to size the plastic profiles . We would also like to thank all the other members of the CLEO II collaboration for their contribution of instrumentation and software as well as in actual data taking, that made this work possible . This work was funded by the US National Science Foundation, both directly and through a subcontract from Cornell's Laboratory of Nuclear Science .

N2 - We describe the construction and performance of the muon identification system for the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron-positron Storage Ring (CESR). The system, based on plastic proportional tubes interleaved with an iron absorber, covers 0.85 of the total solid angle, has an identification efficiency between 0.89 and 0.99, depending on track penetration requirement, and a probability of misidentification about 0.007 for pions of 2.5 GeV and 0.030 for kaons of the same momentum.
