The authors deal with the special case of Riemannian spaces, namely weakly Ricci symmetric spaces (WRS). These are given by some conditions on the first covariant derivative of the curvature tensor (of the Levi-Civita connection). The definition of the WRS leads to a number of limitations of the curvature. In the conformally flat case it is shown that a WRS is a space of almost constant curvature. Connections with other notions (Robertson-Walker space time, concircular vector field) are given. The results are quite simple, but may show interesting relationships between various notions in this area.
