| Abstract: | This text presents an English translation of the significant paper 6] on vortex dynamics published by the outstanding Russian
scientist S. A. Chaplygin, which seems to have almost escaped the attention of later investigators in this field. Although
it was published more than a century ago, in our opinion it is still interesting and valuable.
