A minimal algebraic surface S is called a canonical surface if the map Φκ: S-+P , n=pg—\, associated to the canonical system \K\ induces a birational map of S onto its image. Let Quad(S) denote the intersection of all the quadrics through the image ΦK(S). If S is a canonical surface, then c\>2>pg — l (see [10, Part II, Lemma 1.1]). If the equality sign holds here, S has rather simple structure and its construction can be completely described as in [2]. These are all essentially due to Castelnuovo [4], and I obtained my proof in 1976, which is mostly similar to [2, §§1-4]. Moreover, I noticed that some of the canonical surfaces with pg = l, c\ = \<\ (such that Quad(S) is a cone over the Veronese surface) have obstructed deformations. For such S, | K | is not ample, and the canonical system | Kt | remains non-ample for any small deformation St of S. So, by [3], S has generically non-reduced moduli. This was insinuated in [10, Part III, Remark on p. 229], but with an erroneous citation pg — β, c\ = 11. (I planned to write a paper entitled "On certain canonical surfaces" to discuss surfaces with c\ = 3pg — l and 3pg — β, but it was never completed.) This surface was independently found recently by Miranda [15]. But he missed one point: If {St: teM} is a flat family over a parameter space M, then does teM} form a flat family? This is not true in general, because the dimension of may jump in some case.
