The author studies infinitesimal rotational transformations and deformations of surfaces in Euclidean space which are characterized by the following geometric property: every geodesic curve is mapped into a curve that is mainly an isoperimetric extremal of rotation. Their main equations are deduced and the conformal case is studied in detail. A connection between infinitesimal rotational conformal deformations and the theory of thin shells is pointed out.
