Let \(X\) be a compact Riemann surface of genus \(g > 1.\) The authors study the number \({ N}(X, X')\) of (non-constants holomorphic) morphisms onto a compact Riemann surface \(X'\) of genus \(g'\), where \(g > g' > 1\). De Franchis proved in 1913 that \({N}\) is finite and that \({\Upsilon} = \sum_{X'}{ N}(X, X')\) is also finite when \(X'\) runs over all possible target surfaces up to isomorphism. Naranjo and Pirola proved that bounds have an exponential growth in \(g.\) The second author has proved that \({ N} \leq 2(2g' + 2)^{2g + 2}\), where \(X\) is hyperelliptic. In this paper the authors give new bounds for \({ N}\) and \({\Upsilon}\). Set \[ {N}_{d} = \# \{f: X \rightarrow X': f \text{ morphism with} \deg(f) \leq d \} \] and \[ {\Upsilon}_{d} = \sum_{X'}{ N}_{d}(X, X'). \] It is proved that \({ N}_{d} \leq 8(g - 1)(2d)^{2g}\) and \( {\Upsilon}_{d} \leq C^{2g - 2}_{d}(2d)^{2g + 1}(2g - 1)^{d}\).
