In this paper we derive a generation procedure for the simple (3-valent) 3-polytopes with cyclically 5-connected graphs. (A graph is called cyclically n-connected if it cannot be broken into two components, each containing a cycle, by the removal of fewer than n edges.) We define three new types of face splitting and we show, in Theorems 16 and 17, that the simple 3-polytopes with cyclically 5-connected graphs are exactly the polytopes obtained from the dodecahedron by these face splittings.
