In [7; 8; 11] it is shown that an appropriate map of a planar surface into a 3-manifold can be replaced by an embedding. In [1 ; 4 ; 6 ; 7 ; 9 ; 10] conditions are given so that a "non-trivial" map of a planar surface (2-sphere) can be replaced by a non-trivial embedding of a planar surface (2-sphere). In this paper we give conditions on an annular map which guarantee the existence of a non-trivial embedding of an annulus. It is reported that F. Waldhausen has proved a similar but stronger "annulus theorem".
