where R(z, f) is rational in both arguments and $$\deg _f(R(z,f))\not =n$$

, has a transcendental meromorphic solution, then the equation above reduces into one out of several types of difference equations where the rational term R(z, f) takes particular forms. Solutions of these equations are presented in terms of Weierstrass or Jacobian elliptic functions, exponential type functions or functions which are solutions to a certain autonomous first-order difference equation having meromorphic solutions with preassigned asymptotic behavior. These results complement our previous work on the case $$\deg _f(R(z,f))=n$$
