## Abstract The orientable genus is determined for any graph that embeds into the projective plane, ฮฃ, to be essentially half of the representativity of any embedding into ฮฃ. In addition, a structure is given for any 3โconnected projective planar graph as the union of a spanning planar graph and a

Abstract
Let G be a graph embedded in the Klein bottle with โrepresentativityโ at least four. We give a formula for the orientable genus of G, which also implies a polynomially bounded algorithm. The formula is in terms of the number of times certain closed curves on the Klein bottle intersect the graph. In particular, it shows that a cutโandโpaste technique for reโembedding graphs is the best possible.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a directed graph embedded on the torus or the Klein bottle to contain pairwise disjoint circuits, each of a given orientation and homotopy, and in a given order. For the Klein bottle, the theorem is new. For the torus, the theorem was proved before by
There are two main purposes of this article. First we show that every 3-connected graph embedded in the torus or the Klein bottle has a spanning planar subgraph which is 2-connected, and in fact has a slightly stronger connectivity property. Second, this subgraph is applied to show that every 3-conn
