    The authors investigate the structure of a collineation group leaving invariant a hyperoval \(((n+2) \)- arc) \(\Omega\) of a finite projective plane of even order n. The main result is that \(n=2\), 4 or 16 when G acts transitively on \(\Omega\) and \(4/ | G|.\) The case \(n=16\) is investigated in some details.
