The unit sphere \(S^ 7\) is a subloop of the multiplicative Moufang loop of the eight-dimensional Cayley algebra \(A\). The author considers continuous pseudoautomorphisms and continuous autotopisms of \(S^ 7\). They are shown to be restrictions of corresponding transformations of \(A\). This yields a description of the related groups.
