Abstract
When is a sequence of transpositions on the finite set , then denotes the compositional product of the sequence. Our paper treats the set of all , where is a sequence obtained by rearranging the terms of . The paper characterizes the set of all transpositional sequences for which is the subset of a single congugacy class in the symmetric group ; we call such {\it conjugacy invariant}. At the opposite extreme, the paper studies conditions under which is {\it permutationally complete}, which is to say, those for which either or .
