Abstract: Let V be an $n \times n$ unitary matrix. Then V induces an automorphism ${O_V}$ of ${O_\infty }$ and ${O_n}$ . It is shown in this paper that ${O_V}$ is weakly inner. Let ${F_n}$ be the UHF ${C^ \ast }$ -subalgebra of ${O_n}$ and U be a unitary operator in the diagonal maximal abelian $\ast$ -subalgebra of ${F_n}$ . Then the automorphism ${\lambda _U}$ of On defined by ${\lambda _U}({S_i}) = {U^ \ast }{S_i}$ , for each generator ${S_i}$ of ${O_n}$ , is weakly inner. Any automorphism conjugate to either one mentioned above is also weakly inner.
