Abstract: We examine the space of surfaces in $R{R}^3$ which are complete, properly embedded and have nonzero constant mean curvature. These surfaces are noncompact provided we exclude the case of the round sphere. We prove that the space $Mk$ of all such surfaces with $k$ ends (where surfaces are identified if they differ by an isometry of $R{R}^3$) is locally a real analytic variety. When the linearization of the quasilinear elliptic equation specifying mean curvature equal to one has no $L^2-$nullspace we prove that $Mk$ is locally the quotient of a real analytic manifold of dimension $3k-6$ by a finite group (i.e. a real analytic orbifold), for $kgeq3$. This finite group is the isotropy subgroup of the surface in the group of Euclidean motions. It is of interest to note that the dimension of $Mk$ is independent of the topology of the underlying punctured Riemann surface to which $Sig$ is conformally equivalent. These results also apply to hypersurfaces of $H{H}^{n+1}$ with nonzero constant mean curvature greater than that of a horosphere and whose ends are cylindrically bounded.
