The order of speciality of an ample invertible Sheaf L on a curve is the least integer m so that $L^{ m}$ is nonspecial. There is a reasonable upper bound of the order of speciality for a simple invertible sheaf in terms of its degree and projective dimension. We study the case where it reaches the upper bound. Moreover we for mulate Castelnuovo's genus bound involving the order of speciality.ality.

For a reduced, irreducible and nondegenerate curve C ⊂ ℙ^r of degree d, it was shown that the arithmetic genus g of C has an upper bound π₀(d, r) by G. Castelnuovo. And he also classified the curves that attain the extremal value. These curves are arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay and contained in a surface of minimal degree. In this paper, we investigate the arithmetic genus of curves lie on a surface of minimal degree - the Veronese surface, smooth rational normal surface scrolls and singular rational normal surface scrolls. We also provide a construction of curves on singular rational normal surface scroll S(0, 2) ⊂ ℙ³ which attain the maximal arithmetic genus.
