    The authors of this interesting paper introduce a fourth construction for hyperbolic monopoles -- an embedded holomorphic sphere in projective space. Actually, they associate to an SU(2) hyperbolic monopole a holomorphic sphere embedded in projective space. Such a construction has existed previously [\textit{P. J. Braam} and \textit{D. M. Austin}, Nonlinearity 3, 809-823 (1990; Zbl 0722.53076)] for half-integer mass hyperbolic monopoles. Here the authors define it for any real mass using completely different techniques and give various applications, some of which are known for half-integer mass monopoles.
