Apr 22, 2019 at 19:49 comment added roy smith Introduction to Algebraic Geometry, by J.G. Semple and L. Roth, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1949, reprinted 1986, chapter IV, section 8.2, Intersection of two surfaces in two curves, pages 90-91. I found the old fashioned derivation mysterious, but was able to derive it myself from the adjunction formula, as I noted in my cryptic parenthetical comment above, which I found in my own notes and copied for what it is worth. Unfortunately I did not seem to save the derivation.

Apr 21, 2019 at 0:56 comment added roy smith Maybe this formula from Semple and Roth may help. Genus formula for two surfaces of degrees d,e in projective 3 space meeting in two curves C,C’, of degrees n,n’, and genera p,p’. (Use adjunction formulas for both curves on one surface.) 2(p-p’) = (n-n’)(d+e-4).
