This volume contains almost all of the papers that were read at the Conference on Discontinuous Groups and Riemann Surfaces, which was held at the University of Maryland during May 21-25, 1973. The conference was the third sequence of conferences on this subject in recent years.

Study 79 contains a collection of papers presented at the Conference on Discontinuous Groups and Ricmann Surfaces at the University of Maryland, May 21-25, 1973. The papers, by leading authorities, deal mainly with Fuchsian and Kleinian groups, Teichmüller spaces, Jacobian varieties, and quasiconformal mappings. These topics are intertwined, representing a common meeting of algebra, geometry, and analysis.
