indicates that the number 6-regular graphs is 21609300, while the number of 7-regular graphs is 21609301.

Is this an error, coincidence or connection?

  The connected 3-regular graphs determined by Brinkmann are listed in http://www.mathe2.uni-bayreuth.de/markus/reggraphs.html

  This is the sequence A002851 which is described as connected cubic graphs with 2n nodes and lists this URL as a reference.  

  It's not clear to me what differentiates the "multigraph" sequences A000421/A005965 from the "graph" sequences A005638/A002851.

  A000421 and A002851 reference different pages of the same edition of CRC Handbook of Combinatorial Designs.  Can someone with access to that reference help to clarify the distinction.

  Ray

  Eric W. Weisstein. "Cubic Graph." From MathWorld--A Wolfram Web Resource. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CubicGraph.html references A005638 and notes that, The connected 3-regular graphs have been determined by Brinkmann (1996) up to 24 nodes

    and

    http://www.research.att.com/projects/OEIS?Anum=A005965

    are both meant to be connected cubic multigraphs...


    Firstly, they are duplicates, and secondly, one of them is different 
    to the other - in particular there are apparently 506, or maybe 509, 
    connected cubic multigraphs on 12 vertices.
