Abstract: If $Gamma$ is a string C-group which is isomorphic to a transitive subgroup of the symmetric group Sym(n) (other than Sym(n) and the alternating group Alt(n)), then the rank of $Gamma$ is at most $n/2+1$, with finitely many exceptions (which are classified). It is conjectured that only the symmetric group has to be excluded.
