Abstract

This is an addendum to the paper of Braun and Fl{\o}ystad ([BF]) on the bound for the degree of a smooth surface in \pfour\pfour not of general type. Using their construction and the regularity of curves in \pthree\pthree, one may lower the bound a little more. We will prove the following: Theorem. Let SS be a smooth surface of degree dd in \pfour\pfour not of general type. Then either d70d \leq 70 or SS lies on a hypersurface in \pfour\pfour of degree 5 and d80d \leq 80. Thus d80d \leq 80. We will also indicate how to lower the bound to 76.
