It is common property in the theory of transformation semigroups that the presence of all the constant maps ensures that automorphisms are induced by a permutation of the underlying set. Essentially, this goes back to Malcev (2); it has been extensively generalised by Sullivan in (4). For semigroups which do not contain the constants (for example, all surjective transformations of a set, or all injections) there is, as yet, no similar result. The purpose of this note is to provide one.
