    The reviewer introduced and studied P-groups (a finite group G of order n is a P-group if every element of one particular coset of the derived group G' can be expressed as the product of the n elements of G in some order). Recently in a joint paper the reviewer with \textit{P. Herman} [Ann. Discrete Math. 15, 105-110 (1982)] succeeded in proving that all finite groups are P-groups. The present author introduced and studied super P- groups [J. Combin. Theory, Ser. A 35, 89-97 (1983; Zbl 0516.20013)]. Super P-groups are special P-groups. Namely a P-group is called super P- group if every element of one particular coset hG' of the derived group G' can be expressed as the product of n elements \((a_ 0,a_ 1,...,a_{n-1})\) of G in such a way that the partial products are all different if \(h=e\), the element e of G must be expressed as a product of the n elements of G \((e=a_ 0,a_ 1,...,a_{n-1})\) such that \(b_ 0=a_ 0\quad b_ 1=a_ 0a_ 1...\) are all different and so that the product \(b_{n-1}=a_ 0...a_{n-1}=b_ 0=e.\) The author proves two theorems on the existence of super P-groups.
