Abstract
The invariance groups for a set of transformations of the non-terminating 3 F 2 (1) series, and for the set of Bailey transformations for terminating 4 F 3 (1) series are shown to be S 5 and S 6, respectively. Transformations which relate different basis states are used to discuss the symmetries of the 3-j and 6-j coefficients.
