Abstract: We consider the degree of irrationality $d_r(S)$

of some algebraic surface $S$

. Firstly we give an estimate of $d_r(S)$

for a surface $S$

with a structure of a fiber space. Secondly we prove the existence of a nonsingular curve of genus 3 on $E\times E$ for a certain elliptic curve $E$

with complex multiplications. As a corollary, we obtain that $d_r(E\times E)=3$ .
