On smooth surfaces in P4 containing a plane curve

We consider smooth surfaces $S\subset \text{Pq}$ containing a plane curve $P$ and prove some general result concerning the linear system $\mathrm{\mid }H-P\mathrm{\mid }$. We then look at regular surfaces lying on hypersurfaces of degree $s$ having a plane of multiplicity $(s-2)$. This implies that $S$ contains a plane curve. We prove that the degree of such surfaces is bounded and for $s=4$ we compute an actual bound.
