The article is of interest in view of the actuality of dark matter problems, or in other words in view of the necessity to explain the missing mass problem in spiral galaxies. They raised as a result of absence of a satisfactory explanation of the flattening of rotation curves in such galaxies. Various explanations forwarded do not offer a unique explanation. While existing theories should offer a unique possible explanation of dark matter in spiral galaxies. The authors of the article not specifying the concrete dark matter model, investigate the interaction of neutrinos with dark matter. Let us recollect, that relict neutrinos play an important role in the evaluation of the history of the Universe. As well neutrinos could be of astronomical origin, or emitted by radiating matter (stars). The problem of interest for the authors is the role of neutrino oscillations in the interaction with dark matter. How possible transitions between various flavors would influence the magnitude of interaction? As a defect of the article, while not essential, but of historical character I would mention the absence of citation of the contribution to the problem by \textit{B. M. Pontecorvo}, which in [``Inverse beta processes and nonconservation of Lepton charge'', Sov. Phys., JETP 7, No. 1, 172--173 (1958); translation from Zh. Ehksper. Teor. Fiz. 34, No. 1, 247--249 (1958)] was the first who predicted the possible role of transitions between various 3 species of neutrinos.
