    The paper under review deals with Cartan foliations admitting Ehresmann connections in the sense of [\textit{R. A. Blumenthal} and \textit{J. J. Hebda}, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 33, 597--611 (1984; Zbl 0511.57021)]. In the main result of the paper, the author proves the following: Theorem 1. Let \((M,F)\) be an arbitrary proper Cartan foliation of codimension \(q\) admitting an Ehresmann connection. Then there exist an open, not necessarily connected, saturated, and everywhere dense subset \(M_0\) and a manifold \(L_0\) such that the foliation \((M_0,F_{M_0})\) is formed by the fibers of a locally trivial fibration \(p:M_0\rightarrow B\) with the standard fiber \(L_0\) over a smooth \(q\)-dimensional (not necessarily Hausdorff) manifold \(B\). For \(q=1\) the induced foliation on each connected component of \(M_0\) is formed by the fibers of a locally trivial fibration over a circle or by the fibers of a locally trivial fibration over a line. The author also shows that the condition of the existence of an Ehresmann connection cannot be omitted in the above theorem. We emphasize that the method of the proof of Theorem 1 can be also applied to foliations with transverse rigid geometry.
