It is well-known that for any set X, px, the semigroup of all partial transformations on X, can be embedded in Jx∪a for some a ∉ X (see for example Clifford and Preston (1967) and Ljapin (1963)). Recently Magill (1967) has considered a special case of what we call ‘generalised partial transformation semigroups’. We show here that any such semigroup can always be embedded in a full transformation smigroup in which the operation is not in general equal to the usual composition of mappinas. We then examine conditions under which such a semigroup, (J x, θ), is isomorphic to the semigroup, under composition, of all transformations on the same set X.
