			Abstract:
			A set of 
$n$th order permutations with prime lengths of cycles is considered. An asymptotic estimate for the number of all such permutations is obtained as 
$n\to\infty.$ Given a uniform distribution on the set of such permutations of order 
$n$, a local limit theorem is proved, evaluating the distribution of the number of cycles 
$\nu_n$ in a permutation selected at random. This theorem implies, in particular, that the random variable 
$\nu_n$ is asymptotically normal with parameters (
$\log\log n$, 
$\log\log n$) as 
$n\to\infty$. It is shown that the random variable 
$\nu_n(p)$, the number of cycles of a fixed length 
$p$ in such a permutation (
$p$ is a prime number), has in the limit a Poisson distribution with parameter 
${1}/{p}.$ Assuming that a permutation of order 
$n$ is selected in accordance with the uniform distribution from the set of all such permutations with prime cycle lengths, each of which has exactly 
$N$ cycles 
$(1\le N\le[{n}/{2}]),$ limit theorems are proved, evaluating the distribution of the random variable 
$\mu_p(n, N),$ the number of cycles of prime length 
$p$ in this permutation. The results mentioned are established by means of the asymptotic law for the distribution of prime numbers and the saddle-point method as well as the generalized allocation scheme.
