All punctured Klein bottle bundles over S$\sp1$ are classified. For each of those, all their two-sided incompressible surfaces are described, up to isotopy. This is used to obtain information on Dehn fillings of the bundles. For example, there is a manifold M with a nontrivial knot k in it, so that infinitely many Dehn surgeries on k yield M. === Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-09, Section: B, page: 4386. === Major Professor: Wolfgang H.
