W. Burnside [3, p. 343] showed that a cyclic group of order pm (p prime, m > l) cannot occur as a regular subgroup of a simply transitive primitive group. (For definitions and notation see [9].) Groups which are contained regularly in a primitive group G only when G is doubly transitive are therefore called B-groups [9, p. 64].
