Abstract
For a point and a triple of non-negative integers we define a {\em Hurwitz--Severi number} as the number of generic irreducible plane curves of genus and degree having an -fold node at and at most ordinary nodes as singularities at the other points, such that the projection of the curve from has a prescribed set of local and remote tangents and lines passing through nodes. In the cases and we express the Hurwitz--Severi numbers via appropriate ordinary Hurwitz numbers. The remaining case is still widely open.
