The author studies subvarieties in the Jacobi variety of a compact Riemann surface at which certain matrices of second-order theta-functions have exceptionally low ranks. The obtained linear relations between second-order theta-functions involve Abelian integrals and present themselves a natural generalization of Fay's trisecant formula. The various cases of limiting forms of the obtained identities corresponding to coincidences among parameter values are discussed in the paper. Some applications of the results are given; in particular, the relation with Dubrovin identities among theta-nullwerte obtained for explicit solutions of certain nonlinear partial differential equations is clarified.
