The first part of Hilbert's sixteenth problem deals with the classification of the isotopy types realizable by real plane algebraic curves of given degree m . For m ⩾ 8, one restricts the study to the case of M ‐curves. For m = 9, the classification is still wide open. We say that an M ‐curve of degree 9 has a deep nest if it has a nest of depth 3. In the present paper, we exclude ten isotopy types with a deep nest and no outer ovals.
