    The paper of S.V. Jacques [1] deals with the problem of finding forms of cavities in which there exist uniform vortex motions of an ideal incompressible fluid. In [1] the surface of the cavity was assumed to be a surface of revolution. The present work solves this problem without resorting to this assumption.
