Abstract: A compact hyperbolic surface of genus $ g$ is said to be extremal if it admits an extremal disc, a disc of the largest radius determined by $ g$. We know how many extremal discs are embedded in a non-orientable extremal surface of genus $ g=3$ or $ g>6$. We show in the present paper that there exist $ 144$ non-orientable extremal surfaces of genus $ 4$, and find the locations of all extremal discs in those surfaces. As a result, each surface contains at most two extremal discs. Our methods used here are similar to those in the case of $ g=3$.
