Abstract
Several versions of the Riemann–Hurwitz theorem for branched coverings of graphs are presented. A larger class of graphs which may have not only multiple edges but also loops and darts is considered. This makes it possible to render the class of graphs closed with respect to morphisms arising as quotient maps for actions of finite groups.
