    For every real numbers \(H\) and \(C\geq 2(H+\sqrt{1+H^2})\) there is a rotational symmetric surface \(\Sigma_{H,C}\) with mean curvature \(H\). For every \(H\) between \(\cot(\pi/m)\) and \(\frac{m^2-2}{2\sqrt{m^2-1}}\) there exists an embedded rotational symmetric example with non-constant principal curvatures that is invariant under the cyclic group \(Z_m\), see [the author, Asian J. Math. 14, No. 1, 73--108 (2010; Zbl 1213.53080)]. These embedded CMC tori are the only embedded genus-1 CMC surfaces in the sphere, see [\textit{B. Andrews} and \textit{H. Li}, J. Differ. Geom. 99, No. 2, 169--189 (2015; Zbl 1318.53059)]. The author completes the study of this family of CMC surfaces and shows that for every integer \(m>2\), there is a properly immersed example in this family that contains a great circle and is invariant under \(Z_m\). He says that these examples contain the axis of symmetry, and also shows that every non-isoparametric surface \(\Sigma_{H,C}\) is either properly immersed and invariant under \(Z_m\) for some \(m>1\), or it is dense in the region bounded by two isoparametric tori if \(\Sigma_{H,C}\) does not contain the axis of symmetry, or it is dense in the region bounded by a totally umbilical surface if \(\Sigma_{H,C}\) contains the axis of symmetry.
