This paper gives a topological characterization of Diophantine and recurrent laminations on surfaces. It also establishes an upper bound for the number of ergodic components of a measured foliation, in terms of limits of the corresponding geodesic ray inM ¯g , n. Taken together, these results give a new approach to Masur's theorem on unique ergodicity.
