โฆ Synopsis
By theorems of Tutte, Weiss, and others, it is known that there are no finite symmetric graphs of degree greater than 2 with automorphism group transitive on 8-arcs, and that 7-arc-transitivity can occur only in the case of graphs of degree 3 m q 1. In this article it is shown that there are infinitely many 7-arc-transitive finite quartic graphs; indeed for all but finitely many positive integers n, there is a finite connected 7-arc-transitive quartic graph with the alternating group A acting n transitively on its 7-arcs, and another with the symmetric group S acting transin tively on its 7-arcs. The proof uses a construction involving permutation representations of a generic infinite group to produce an infinite family of finite graphs with the required properties. แฎ 1998 Academic Press n Petersen's graph and the complete bipartite graphs K are 3-arcn, n 619

Regular covers of complete graphs which are 2-arc-transitive are investigated. A classification is given of all such graphs whose group of covering transformations is either cyclic or isomorphic to Z p \_Z p , where p is a prime and whose fibrepreserving subgroup of automorphisms acts 2-arc-transiti
