This paper furthers the foundation of the theory of quasigroups obeying the law x(xy) = yx by studying their algebraic properties. Much information is obtained by analysing the cycle decomposition of left translations regarded as permutations, and other results are obtained by representation in terms of abelian groups with an operation.
