✦ Synopsis
An explicit expression is obtained for the generating series for the number of ramified coverings of the sphere by the double torus, with elementary branch points and prescribed ramification type over infinity. Thus we are able to determine various linear recurrence equations for the numbers of these coverings with no ramification over infinity; one of these recurrence equations has previously been conjectured by Graber and Pandharipande. The general form of this series is conjectured for the number of these coverings by a surface of arbitrary genus that is at least two.
