1. The purpose of the note is to show the following fact: For any abelian surface admitting a polarization with the reduced pfaffian three, one can always construct a birational morphism of the associated Kummer surface into P,(C) whose image is a quartic surface. The morphism is a smooth embedding if the abelian surface can not be principally polarized. We will also discuss some geometry around this fact. Let A be an abelian surface, E the universal cover of A and G the lattice such A=E/G. Suppose that a polarization (ample line bundle) H is given to A. We identify H with its Riemann form. (See Weil [4].) H is thus a hermitian form on E whose imaginary part is Z-valued over G. We assume that the reduced pfaffian of H is three, that is, that the determinant of the imaginary part over G is equal to nine. We denote the space of odd theta functions of type (2H, 1) (1: the trivial semi-character) by V. V is then fourdimensional. Since the semi-character is trivial, the theta functions in V necessarily vanish at the two-torsion points of A. Regarding V as a subspace of F(A,H) we obtain a rational mapping of A into P(V*)_P(C). (V* is the dual space of V. For a complex vector space W we denote by P(W) the projective space (Wk{O})/Cx.) Let S be the Kummer surface associated with A i.e. the minimal desingularizatioa of the quotient of A by the involution z o--z. Since all elements in V are odd, the rational mapping induces a rational mapping of S into P(V*) and we see that this mapping is actually a birational morphism and that the image is a quartic surface. The line bundle 2H induces a line bundle over S, which we denote by (2H). This is of self intersection twelve and is orthogonal to the exceptional divisors E, (i=1, 2, ..., 16) of the desingularization S. The line bundle
