A quasi-permutation group of degree n was defined in [3] to be a finite group with a faithful representation of degree n whose character has only non-negative rational integral values. If G is such a group, then the following simple properties of permutation groups of degree n were proved to hold also for G:

(i) the order of G is a divisor of the order of the symmetric group Sn of degree n; and (ii) if G is a p-group and n < p2, then G has exponent at most p and derived length at most 1 (i.e. G is elementary Abelian).
