Abstract: Let $(X,L)$ be a general primitively polarized K3 surface with $c_1(L{)}^2=2g-2$ for some integer $ggeq2$. The Severi variety $V^{L,delta}subset|L|$ is defined to be the locus of reduced and irreducible curves in $|L|$ with exactly $delta$ nodes and no other singularities. When $delta=g$, any curve $Cin{V}^{L,g}$ is a rational curve; in fact, Chen cite{Chen02} has shown that all rational curves in $|L|$ are nodal, and the number of such rational curves is given by the Yau-Zaslow formula cite{YZ96}. In this paper, we consider the next case where $delta=g-1$ and the Severi variety $V^{L,g-1}$ parametrizing nodal elliptic curves is of dimension 1. Let $overline{V}^{L,g-1}subset|L|$ denote the Zariski closure. For a reduced curve $C$, we define the geometric genus of $C$ to be the sum of the genera of the irreducible components of the normalization. We prove that the geometric genus of the closure $overline{V}^{L,g-1}subset|L|$ is bounded from below by $O(e^{Csqrtg})$.
