A question of principal interest in the theory of compact, three-dimensional CR-manifolds is to understand when a given strictly pseudoconvex, CR-structure can be realized by an embedding in C' . We call a structure for which this is possible embeddable, and nonembeddable otherwise. This question is only of interest in three dimensions as a theorem of Boutet de Monvel states that any strictly pseudoconvex CR-structure, on a compact (2d + 1)-manifold, is realizable as an embedding in some C' , provided d > 1. On the other hand, there is a classical example of Rossi which shows that an arbitrarily small, real analytic, perturbation of the standard structure on the three sphere may fail to be embeddable, [Ros]. Later, Nirenberg constructed W??-perturbations for which the associated Ob-equation fails to have even local solutions, [N]. In fact, this situation is generic in the F?-topology. It is now understood, principally from the work of Eliashberg, that CR-structures with
