In 1930 Kuratowski2 established the following result: THEOREM A: A peanian continuum,3 containing but a finite number of simple closed curves, is homneomorphic with a subset of the plane, provided that it does not contain a topological image of either of the complexes Cs and Ad where (s consists of two groups of three vertices each and nine 1-cells, in a fashion that each vertex of one group together with each vertex of the other group bounds in a 1-cell; D consists of five vertices and ten 1-cells, in a fashion that each pair of vertices bounds a 1-cell.4 This theorem suggests the more general problem treated in this paper, namely, the characterization of the peanian continua which are homeomorphic with a subset of the surface of a sphere. We find it convenient, first, to designate as a primitive skew curve any pointset homeomorphic with either of the complexes (s and A"; and then, to distinguish among the set of all peanian continua a class, Y, consisting of those which fail to contain a primitive skew curve. Certain boundary sets are defined in an arbitrary continuum, M, of class Y, as follows: DEFINITION I: A simple closed curve, T, in M is called a boundary curve of M provided that there do not exist in M-T distinct components E and F such that
