Abstract
Wilke proved in 1977 that every countable model of Peano Arithmetic has an elementary end extension such that the interstructure lattice Lt() is the pentagon lattice . This theorem implies that every countable nonstandard has an elementary cofinal extension such that Lt(. It is proved here that if and Lt(, then is either an end or a cofinal extension of . In contrast, there are such that Lt( and is neither an end nor a cofinal extension of .
