In the case of d=4, using our Meyer function, we can define the local signature for 4-dimensional fiber spaces whose general fibers are non-hyperelliptic compact Riemann surfaces of genus 3. Some computations of our local signature will be given.24 pages, typo addedGeometric TopologyAlgebraic Geometry57N13, 14D05The mapping class group and the Meyer function for plane curvestext
