Review text

This paper presents a scheme for giving meaningful names to permutation groups, based partly on the subnormal structure (as in ATLAS notation) but also considering the permutation structure. This is applied to all of the (previously classified) transitive permutation groups of degree up to 15. In a lengthy appendix all these groups are listed, giving for each group not only the name but also explicit generators (chosen to reflect the structure) and some other information about the group's properties. The tables were created in a largely automated way, using GAP, to reduce errors and provide a check on the correctness of the list.
