It will be shown that the number of equivalence classes of embeddings of a 3-connected nonplanar graph into a projective plane coincides with the number of isomorphism classes of planar double coverings of the graph and a combinatorial method to determine the number will be developed.

✦ Synopsis
We show that every 3-connected planar graph has a circular embedding in some nonspherical surface. More generally, we characterize those planar graphs that have a 2-representative embedding in some nonspherical surface.
This is proved in Section 3. Standard results in the theory show that it suffices to consider the question for 2-connected graphs. For a 2-connected graph G, an embedding of G in some

A well-known Tutte's theorem claims that every 3-connected planar graph has a convex embedding into the plane. Tutte's arguments also show that, moreover, for every nonseparating cycle C of a 3-connected graph G, there exists a convex embedding of G such that C is a boundary of the outer face in thi
A graph G is uniquelyembeddable in a surface f 2 if for any two embeddings f,,f2 : G + f 2 , there exists an isomorphism u : G + G and a homeo- admits an embedding f : G + F2 such that for any isomorphism (T : G + G, there is a homeomorphism h : F 2 f 2 with h . f = f . u. It will be shown that if
