On a surface F of genus pg = pa = p and linear genus p(1) = n + 1 whose canonical system is irreducible, and which we shall ordinarily think of as simple and free from exceptional curves, the characteristic series of the canonical system is a semicanonical since the adjoint system of the canonical system is its double, so that the canonical series on a curve of the canonical system is its characteristic series doubled.
