This paper precisely classifies all simple groups with subgroups of index n and all primitive permutation groups of degree n, where n = 2.3', 5.3' or 10.3' for Y 2 1. As an application, it proves positively Gardiner and Praeger's conjecture in [6] regarding transitive groups with bounded movement.

โฆ Synopsis
In this paper we complete the classification of the primitive permutation groups of degree less than 1000 by determining the irreducible subgroups of GL(n, p) for p prime and p n < 1000. We also enumerate the maximal subgroups of GL(8, 2), GL(4, 5) and GL(6, 3).

We complete data in Sims' list of the 406 primitive permutation groups of degree โค 50, as given in a CAYLEY library, by an explicit description of the structure of the 202 groups missing till now. The completed list is available in MAGMA.
