A graph $G$ is said to have property $M(k)$ if it is not uniquely $k$-list colorable. Mahmoodian and Mahdian characterized all graphs with property $M(2)$. For $k\\geq 3$ property $M(k)$ has been studied only for multipartite graphs. Here we find bounds on $M(k)$ for graphs embedded on surfaces, and obtain new results on planar graphs.
