The standard methods of constructing generalized free products of groups (with a single amalgamated subgroup) and permutational products of groups are to consider groups of permutations on sets. Although there is an apparent similarity between these two constructions, the exact nature of the relationship is not clear. The following addendum to [4] grew out of an attempt to determine this relationship. By noting that the original construction of permutational products (B. H. Neumann [7]) deals with a group of permutations on a group (although the group structure has been previously ignored; see [7], [8]) we here give an extension of the original permutational product-construction which yields both the generalized free product and the permutational products as groups of permutations on groups. A generalized free product is represented as a group of permutations on the ordinary free product of the constituents of the underlying group amalgam and a permutational product is a group of permutations on the direct product of the constituents of the amalgam.
