Abstract: By pairwise gluing of edges of a polygon, one produces two-dimensional surfaces with handles and boundaries. In this paper, we count the number ${calN}_{g,L}(n_1,n_2,\mathrm{...},n_L)$ of different ways to produce a surface of given genus $g$ with $L$ polygonal boundaries with given numbers of edges $n_1,n_2,>\mathrm{...},n_L$. Using combinatorial relations between graphs on real two-dimensional surfaces, we derive recursive relations between ${calN}_{g,L}$. We show that Harer-Zagier numbers appear as a particular case of ${calN}_{g,L}$ and derive a new explicit expression for them.
