In Introduction In differential geometry of linear connections, A. Nijenhuis has introduced the concepts of local holonomy group and infinitesimal holonomy group and obtained many interesting results [6].

The purpose of the present note is to generalize his results to the case of connections in arbitrary principal fiber bundles with Lie structure groups. The concept of local holonomy group can be immediately generalized and has been already utilized by S. Kobayashi [4]. Our main results are Theorems 4 and 5 on infinitesimal holonomy groups. The proofs depend on a little sharpened form of a theorem of Ambrose-Singer [1]. In the case of linear connections, our infinitesimal holonomy group coincides with that of Nijenhuis, as we shall show in Section 6.
