The author introduces a full isomorphism between the motion of a triaxial rigid body and the motion of a particle on a triaxial ellipsoid. Using this isomorphism, the author obtains a very special case of integrability in the last problem from an integrable case of the first problem. The new case is time irreversible and is not separable in any configurational variables for arbitrary initial conditions. It can be interpreted as a motion of an electrically charged particle under potential and Lorentz forces. The result is extended to the motions on one-sheeted and two-sheeted hyperboloids.
