Abstract
In a recent paper [1972], R. L. Brandon, D. W. Hardy, and G. Markowsky, showed that the Schützenberger group Γ(H) of anH-class H inB X is isomorphic to the automorphism group of a lattice V associated with H. For H a group this result is due to K.A. Zaretskiî [1963]. In this note we show that a small modification of Zaretskiî's method for H a group simultaneously gives the result of Brandon, Hardy and Markowsky.
