We show that, for r = 1, 2, a graph G with 2 n + 2 (≥6) vertices and maximum degree 2 n + 1 ‐ r is of Class 2 if and only if | E ( G / v )| > ( 2 2 n +1 ) ‐ rn , where v is a vertex of G of minimum degree, and we make a conjecture for 1 ≤ r ≤ n , of which this result is a special case. For r = 1 this result is due to Plantholt.
