Ringeisen} [Combinatorics, graph theory and computing, Proc. 15 Southeast. Conf., La. State Univ. 1984, Congr. Numerantium 44, 315-320 (1984; Zbl 0563.05037)] have indicated that the amida number of regular graphs of degree r and odd order is at most r. In this paper it is shown that this conclusion is not true. In fact, for any odd n and even r, where $4\le r\le n-3$, we can always construct a regular graph of degree r and order n, whose amida number is greater than r. rv:
