| Summary:

We treat the problem of finding transitive subgroups G of S_n containing
normal subgroups N_1 and N_2, with N_1 transitive and N_2 not transitive, such
that G/N_1 is isomorphic G/N_2. We show that such G exist whenever n has a
prime factor that also divides the Euler-phi function of n. We show that no
such G exist when n = pq for p < q with p not dividing q-1.
