Abstract: Previous path integral treatments of Yang-Mills on a Riemann surface automatically sum over principal fiber bundles of all possible topological types in computing quantum expectations. This paper extends the path integral formulation to treat separately each topological sector. The formulation is sufficiently explicit to calculate Wilson line expectations exactly. Further, it suggests two new measures on the moduli space of flat connections, one of which proves to agree with the small-volume limit of the Yang-Mills measure. copyright {em 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
