      Translation planes are related to quasifields, besides it is not a one to one correspondence. The right multiplication group of a quasifield is a linear group acting transitively on the nontrivial vectors of a vectorspace. Finite transitive linear groups have been determined by \textit{C. Hering} [Geom. Dedicata 2, 425--460 (1974; Zbl 0292.20045); J. Algebra 93, 151--164 (1985; Zbl 0583.20003)] and \textit{M. Liebeck} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. 54, 57--72 (1995)]. There are four families and 27 exceptional examples. This paper deals with the exceptional groups and gives a classification of those quasifield whose right multiplication group is one of the exceptional groups.
