In this note we consider a finite group G which satisfies the following conditions:

  • (0. 1) G is a doubly transitive permutation group on a set Ω of m + 1 letters, where m is an odd integer ≥ 3,

  • (0. 2) if H is a subgroup of G and contains all the elements of G which fix two different letters α, β, then H contains unique permutation h0 ≠ 1 which fixes at least three letters,

  • (0. 3) every involution of G fixes at least three letters,

  • (0. 4) G is not isomorphic to one of the groups of Ree type.
