Remarks. a) Notice, that the necessity of conditions ii), iii), iv) for i) to hold is trivial. Furthermore, the implication iii)~ ii) is obvious. Therefore, it will suffice to prove the implications ii)=*, i) and iv)=~ ii). b) Some closely related results on CR transformations of strongly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces can be found in the Berkeley thesis (1975) of Webster and an article of Burns and Shnider ([1]). Furthermore, Burns told the author in a letter that he and Shnider also proved the theorem given here (with a slightly weaker version in the case n= 2) by using Chern-Moser invariants and Feffermans hard theorem on biholomorphic mappings between strongly pseudoconvex domains. However, we want to point out, that in our proof Feffermans theorem and also Chern-Moser invariants are not used. We shall give two proofs of our theorem. The first one involves the results of Diederich and Graham on the boundary behavior of the Bergman, Caratheodory and Kobayashi metrics, together with an observation on their holomorphic curvatures ([7]). The second one is an application of the boundary estimates for the corresponding intrinsic measures which were derived in [8]. w 1. Definitions and Known Results
