It is shown that embeddings of planar graphs in arbitrary surfaces other than the 2-sphere have a special structure. It turns out that these embeddings can be described in terms of noncontractible curves in the surface, meeting the graph in at most two points (which may taken to be vertices of the g

We show that if n >~6m then it is possible to construct m edge-disjoint maximal planar graphs on a set of n vertices, but that it is not possible if n < 6m -1. We also show that given a pair of edge-disjoint maximal planar graphs, and a specified face in one, there exist at least three faces in the
A maximal planar graph is a simple planar graph in which every face is a triangle. We show here that such graphs with maximum degree A and diameter two have no more than :A + 1 vertices. We also show that there exist maximal planar graphs with diameter two and exactly LiA + 1 J vertices.
