Fix a unit normal vector field on a surface C4-immersed in a Riemannian 3-manifold of constant sectional curvature. Suppose H and K are mean and Gauss curvatures respectively, and that H' = V/72 -K. Wherever H' •> 0, define I', II' and III' by HI = II -HI, H'W = H\\ -K\ and III' = Hit -XT, where I and II are the first and second fundamental forms. For constants a, ß, and v, let A' = at + ßlt + yïlt. Wherever H' ¥= 0 and A' is nondegenerate, the curvature of this (not necessarily Riemannian)

... ic A' is computed in terms of K(t) and more familiar quantities on the surface. Some discussion of K(t) is also included.
