In this paper we complete the classification of the primitive permutation groups of degree less than 1000 by determining the irreducible subgroups of GL(n, p) for p prime and pn < 1000. We also enumerate the maximal subgroups of GL(8, 2), GL(4, 5) and GL(6, 3). © 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved. MSC: 20B10; 20B15; 20H30
