A homeomorphism f of a space M is pointwise periodic if for each m ∈ M there exists an integer k such that fk(m) =m, where fk is the kth iterate of f. Montgomery proves [5] that if M is a connected topological manifold, then f is periodic; i.e., there exists an integer n such that fn = id. Noting this, Weaver [7] proves that if M is an orientable 2-manifold of class C1, UM open and CU a compact connected set and if g : U → M of class C1 is such that (i) g(C) = C and (ii) whenever the derivative of g at points x∈C has rank 2 it is orientation preserving, then f = g|c : C → C periodic implies that all but a finite number of points of C have as least period the period of f.
