In this paper we derive characterizations of egalitarian solutions on two subclasses of the class of balanced games. Firstly, we show that the Dutta-Ray solution is the only solution that satisfies symmetry, independence of irrelevany alternatives, and continuity on the class of convex games. Secondly, together with the other two requirements, a strengthening of continuity to monotonicity of the grand coalition turns out to be sufficient for the characterization of the lexicographically maximal solution on the class of large core games.
