In (2), Tutte has shown that the number, Bn, of rooted non-separable planar maps having n edges is [2(3n — 3)!]/[n! (2n — 1)!]. Rooting was accomplished by designating one edge as the root, orienting it, and distinguishing between its sides as left and right. We shall here compute the number, Bn,m, of rooted non-separable planar maps having n edges and such that the face to the left of the root is incident with exactly m edges, which maps will be said to be of type [n, m].
