Let \(M\) be a surface of Euclidean 3-space with position vector \(x\). Denote by \(\Delta^{III}\) the Laplacian of \(M\) associated with the third fundamental form \(III\). The author proves that \(\Delta^{III}= \text{grad}^{III}(r_1+r_2)-(r_1+r_2)n\), where \(r_1,r_2\) are the principal radii of curvature and \(n\) the normal vector field of \(M\). The author also investigates surfaces which are of finite type (in the sense of the reviewer) with respect to the operator \(\Delta^{III}\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0867.00024].
