Let X be a nonsingular algebraic K3 surface carrying a nonsingular hyperelliptic curve of genus 3 and no rational curves. Our purpose is to study two algebraic deformations of X, viz. one specialization and one generalization. We assume the characteristic ≠ 2. The generalization of X is a nonsingular quartic surface Q in P3 : we wish to show in § 1 that there is an irreducible algebraic family of surfaces over the affine line, in which X is a member and in which Q is a general member. The specialization of X is a surface Y having a birational model which is a ramified double cover of a quadric cone in P3.
