Considerable interest has attached to the problem of determining the type of a Riemann surface obtained by performing an identification between the edges of a strip or a half-strip (1, 2, 4, 5, 8). A fairly thorough analysis was made in 1946 by Volkovyskii (6) who gave various sufficient conditions for parabolic and hyperbolic type. The object of the present paper is to show that his principal sufficient condition for hyperbolic type can be substantially improved.
