We give a short derivation of an extension of a result of Schwenk on the limiting behaviour of the cycle index of the symmetric group when it is evaluated for a given power series at a given point.

We show that the number of factorizations \_=/ 1 } } } / r of a cycle of length n into a product of cycles of lengths a 1 , ..., a r , with r j=1 (a j &1)=n&1, is equal to n r&1 . This generalizes a well known result of J. Denes, concerning factorizations into a product of transpositions. We investi
## Introduction Recently, Stanley [21] has defined a symmetric function generalization of the chromatic polynomial of a graph. Independently, Chung and Graham have defined a digraph polynomial called the cover polynomial which is closely related to the chromatic polynomial of a graph (in fact, as
The pure symmetric automorphism group of a finitely generated free group consists of those automorphisms which send each standard generator to a conjugate of itself. We prove that these groups are duality groups.
