The possibility of the steady motion of a spherical vortex of constant vorticity in an infinite homogeneous liquid was first pointed out by Hill in the Phil. Trans., 1894, pp. 213–245. He had already discussed a case of motion which had for the surfaces always containing the same particles those given by the equation

a particular surface being
