It is well known that the chromatic number of a graph embeddable in the Klein bottle does not exceed 6. The author proves that if the girth g of such a graph satisfies \(4\leq g\leq 5\) or \(g\geq 6\) then the upper bound on the chromatic number is 4 or 3, respectively. These bounds are sharp for all g except, possibly, \(g=5.\)
