The author proposes a sophisticated procedure to express the covariant derivatives of space tensors in terms of surface quantities in the shell theory. In the proposed approach a distinction has been made between the indices corresponding to the surface \(\zeta =0\) (upper case letters) and to the points with \(\zeta \neq 0\) (lower case letters). This can be useful in the development of geometrically consistent shell theories. Per instance, the author discovered that the right side of the expression (in his notations) \[ v_{\mid }^\alpha \equiv v_{,}^\alpha =v_\Psi ^\alpha\partial _v^\Psi , \] (i.e. (3.39) in the work by \textit{P. M. Naghdi}, Foundations in elastic shell theory, Progress in Solid Mechanics 6, 1-90 (1980) should be augmented by an additional, curvature dependent term, to get \[ v_{\mid }^\alpha \equiv v_{,}^\alpha =v_\Psi ^\alpha [\partial _v^\Psi -b_\Lambda ^\Psi v^\Lambda ]. \] In addition, these expressions are illustrated by a simple example of a cylindrical shell, which confirms the correctness of the latter (author's) version of the quoted expression.
