    The following Darboux-Ribaucour equations are considered: \[ t_s= K^{(1)}_g u- K^{(1)}_n v,\;u_s= - K^{(1)}_g t+ T^{(1)}_g v,\;v_s= K^{(1)}_n t- T^{(1)}_g u,\tag{1} \] and \[ t_t= K^{(0)}_g u- K^{(0)}_n v,\;u_t= - K^{(0)}_g t+ T^{(0)}_gv,\;v_t= K^{(0)}_n t- T^{(0)}_g u.\tag{2} \] Here \(t_s= \partial_s t\), \(t_t= \partial_t t\), etc., the equations (1) and (2) can be written respectively as: \[ t_s= \textstyle{{1\over 2}}(q^* N+ qN^*),\;N_s= - qt- iC_0 N;\tag{3} \] and \[ t_t= - \textstyle{{1\over 2}}(\gamma^* N+ \gamma N^*),\;N_t= \gamma t+iRN.\tag{4} \] The author gives the geometric phase density: \(\rho= R_s= -2iA_s\), and obtains the following results for \(\rho\): MKdV: \(\phi_t+ 6\phi^2 \phi_s+ \phi_{sss}= 0\); [\(\phi\) real], \(A= - 4i\zeta^3+ 2i\zeta^2\phi^2\); \(\rho(s, t)= 4\zeta^2(\phi^2)_s\), NLS: \(i\phi_t+ \phi_{ss}+ 2|\phi|^2\phi= 0\); [\(\phi\) complex], \(A= - 2i\zeta^2+ i|\phi|^2\); \(\rho(s, t)= 2(|\phi|^2)_s\), SG: \(X_{st}= \sin X\); [\(\phi= - X_{s/2}\), \(X\) real], \(A= (i/4\zeta)\cos X\); \(\rho(s, t)= (2\zeta)^{- 1} X_s\sin X= (\zeta)^{- 1}(\phi^2)_t\).
