Abstract. Let $C\subset \mathbb {P}^r$ be a general linearly normal curve with prescribed genus and $h^1(C,\mathcal {O}_C(1))=1$. Here we prove that $C$ has maximal rank, i.e. that for all integers $t$ the restriction map $H^0(\mathbb {P}^r,\mathcal {O}_{\mathbb {P}^r}(t)) \to H^0(C,\mathcal {O}_C(t))$ is either injective or surjective.
