We characterise all maximal convex l ‐subgroups of A (Ω), the automorphism group of a doubly transitive chain Ω of countable coterminality. We then determine, up to isomorphism, all doubly transitive actions of the l ‐group A (Ω). Finally, assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, we show that there exists an unbounded chain of proper prime subgroups of A (Ω).
