The aim of the paper is to point out a connection between the characters which Foulkes introduced to give a representation theoretical generalization of Eulerian numbers and certain Lefschetz characters of the symmetric group which Björner mentioned in a talk at an earlier Séminaire Lotharingien and which were described in detail by Stanley (J. Combinatorial Theory, Ser. A 32 (1982), 132-161). The missing link is a theorem on the irreducible constituents of Foulkes' characters.
