1. Introduction and statement of theorem. 1. In [1] Ambrose and Singer gave a necessary and sufficient condition (Theorem 3 here) for a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold to admit a transitive group of motions. Here we shall give a simple proof of a more general theorem — Theorem 1 (the proof of Theorem 1 became suggestive to us after we noted that the Tx of [1] is just the ax of [6] when X is restricted to p0, see [6], p. 539).
