In the present paper, we shall prove the following result.

Theorem A. The groups PSL(2, p) can be presented by the following system of generators and relations:

1.1

This theorem considerably improves earlier results of Bussey, Frasch, and Todd (cf. 2, pp. 93-96). The presentation of Frasch reads as follows:
