## Abstract The trivalent graph of girth 9 with 58 vertices discovered by N. L. Biggs and M. J. Hoare is not the only graph of this kind.
The question of the girth of cycle permutation graphs is discussed. It is demonstrated by a computer search, that there are no cycle permutation graphs with girth 9 on less than 60 vertices, and that precisely two non-isomorphic examples exist on 60 vertices.
We construct a graph of girth 6 that cannot be oriented as the diagram of an ordered set and discuss the reasons why this particular construction cannot be extended to produce examples of larger girth. The problem of characterizing graphs that can be oriented as diagrams of ordered sets (or coverin
