Let Seq be the set of binary sequences, and for i εN; let e i be the equivalence relation on Seq given by equality for all components with index less than i . Let X be a subset of Seq and G the group of all permutations of X which leave each equivalence relation e i invariant. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for G to be transitive on X . We also determine the number of isomorphism classes of systems ( X , E ) where X ⊆ Seq and E is the set of restrictions of all relations e i to X × X such that the automorphism group of the system is transitive.
