Abstract. Here we prove the existence of linearly normal smooth curves $C\subset \mathbb {P}^r$, $r\ge 5$, with maximal rank, $h^1(X,\mathcal {O}_C(1)) \le r +\lfloor r/2\rfloor -2$, any genus at most of order $r^3/12$ and general moduli. In this range of degrees and genera we prove the surjectivity of the restriction map $H^0(\mathbb {P}^r,\mathcal {O}_{\mathbb {P}^r}(3)) \to H^0(C,\mathcal {O}_C(3))$.
