We investigate representations of the Cuntz algebra   ${{\mathcal{O}}_{2}}$  on antisymmetric Fock space
 ${{\mathcal{O}}_{2}}$  on antisymmetric Fock space   ${{F}_{a}}({{\mathcal{K}}_{1}})$  defined by isometric implementers of certain quasi-free endomorphisms of the CAR algebra in pure quasi-free states
 ${{F}_{a}}({{\mathcal{K}}_{1}})$  defined by isometric implementers of certain quasi-free endomorphisms of the CAR algebra in pure quasi-free states   $\varphi {{P}_{1}}$ . We pay special attention to the vector states on
 $\varphi {{P}_{1}}$ . We pay special attention to the vector states on   ${{\mathcal{O}}_{2}}$  corresponding to these representations and the Fock vacuum, for which we obtain explicit formulae. Restricting these states to the gauge-invariant subalgebra
 ${{\mathcal{O}}_{2}}$  corresponding to these representations and the Fock vacuum, for which we obtain explicit formulae. Restricting these states to the gauge-invariant subalgebra   ${{\mathcal{F}}_{2}}$ , we find that for natural choices of implementers, they are again pure quasi-free and are, in fact, essentially the states
 ${{\mathcal{F}}_{2}}$ , we find that for natural choices of implementers, they are again pure quasi-free and are, in fact, essentially the states   $\varphi {{P}_{1}}$ . We proceed to consider the case for an arbitrary pair of implementers, and deduce that these Cuntz algebra representations are irreducible, as are their restrictions to
 $\varphi {{P}_{1}}$ . We proceed to consider the case for an arbitrary pair of implementers, and deduce that these Cuntz algebra representations are irreducible, as are their restrictions to   ${{\mathcal{F}}_{2}}$ .

The endomorphisms of   $B\left( {{F}_{a}}({{\mathcal{K}}_{1}}) \right)$  associated with these representations of
 $B\left( {{F}_{a}}({{\mathcal{K}}_{1}}) \right)$  associated with these representations of   ${{\mathcal{O}}_{2}}$  are also considered.
