β¦ Synopsis
We enumerate, up to isomorphism, several classes of labeled vertex-transitive digraphs with a prime number of vertices.
There are many unsolvedi enumeration problems stated in [S]. Recently, Robinson in [8] posed more enumeration problems. Here, we give some partial answer to the problems posed on p. 181 in [S], i.e., bj using some of the results in [3] and [4], we enumerate several classes of labeled vertex-transitive digraphs with a prime number, p, of vertices; specifically, we count those that are symmetric (both vertex-tracsitive and edge-transitive), those with a given group of automorphisms and those that are self-complementary.
Roughly, our method is to use the group of automorphisms, P6lya's and de Bruijn's enumeration theorems and the following lemma.

This paper completes the determination of all integers of the form pqr (where p, q, and r are distinct primes) for which there exists a vertex-transitive graph on pqr vertices which is not a Cayley graph.
If a graph G with cycle rank p contains both spanning trees with rn and with n end-vertices, rn < n, then G has at least 2p spanning trees with k end-vertices for each integer k, rn < k < n. Moreover, the lower bound of 2p is best possible. [ l ] and Schuster [4] independently proved that such span
