The existence of a function g of hhaving the property that pr divides the order of the automorphism group of a finite group G whenever pg divides the order of G was first established by Ledermann and Neumann [4], who showed that the least such function g(h) satisfies the inequality

Later Green [2] improved this estimate to

In the Present paper this will be revised, for sufficiently large h, to
