The (symmetric) genus of a finite group may be defined as the smallest genus of those closed orientable surfaces on which G acts faithfully as a group of automorphisms. In this paper the genus of each of the five Mathieu groups M 11 , M 12 , M 22 , M 23 and M 24 is determined, with the help of some computer calculations and a little‐known of Ree on permutations.
