Recently, M. Hofmeister [4] counted all nonisomorphic double coverings of a graph by using its Ζ2 cohomology groups, and J. Kwak and J. Lee [5] did the same work for some finite-fold coverings. In this paper, we give an algebraic characterization of isomorphic graph bundles, from which we get a formula to count all nonisomorphic graph-bundles. Some applications to wheels are also discussed.
