      As is well-known, the six dimensional sphere \(S^ 6\) carries a nearly Kähler structure. In the reviewed paper, the following theorem is proved: Let \(M\) be a compact almost complex surface in \(S^ 6\) and \(K_ 0\) be the minimum of the Gauss curvature of \(M\). Then either \(M\) is totally geodesic or \(K_ 0\leq 1/3\). In this proof, the author uses Ros's method of investigating the function \(f(U)=\| h(U,U)\|^ 2\) on the unit tangent bundle of \(M\) [cf. \textit{A. Ros}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 93, 329-331 (1985; Zbl 0561.53055)].
