    The authors study some properties of the infinitesimal curvature and Ricci collineations of a cylindrically symmetric static metric. They obtain a complete list of cylindrically symmetric static metrics by their curvature collineations. They show that there are curvature collineations that are distinct from the set of isometries and of Ricci collineations. The physical interpretations of some of the metrics obtained are given.
