Extract

A well-known theorem, due to Castelnuovo and Enriques(1), states that a surface on which the process of successive adjunction, applied to any curve system, terminates, must be rational or scrollar; actually the result shows that, if the property in question holds for any one system of sufficiently general type, then it must hold for all systems; but this has not been established directly.
