Abstract
A special type of surgery developed by A. T. White and later used by the author to construct orientable quadrilateral embeddings of Cartesian products of graphs is here expanded to cover the nonorientable case as well. This enables the nonorientable genus of many families of Cartesian products of triangle‐free graphs to be computed.

## Abstract Examples are given to show that the nonorientable genus of a graph is not additive over its blocks. A nonorientable analog for the Battle, Harary, Kodama, and Youngs Theorem is proved; this completely determines the nonorientable genus of a graph in terms of its blocks. It is also shown
We develop four constructions for nowhere-zero 5-flows of 3-regular graphs that satisfy special structural conditions. Using these constructions we show a minimal counterexample to Tutte's 5-Flow Conjecture is of order 244 and therefore every bridgeless graph of nonorientable genus 5 5 has a nowhere
## Given a Cartesian product G of nontrivial connected graphs G i and the n-dimensional base B de Bruijn graph D = D B (n), it is investigated whether or not G is a spanning subgraph of D. Special attention is given to graphs G 1 × • • • × G m which are relevant for parallel computing, namely, to
