Abstract: This paper gives some examples of hypersurfaces $ph{i}_t(M^n)$ evolving in time with speed determined by functions of the normal curvatures in an $(n+1)$-dimensional hyperbolic manifold; we emphasize the case of flow by harmonic mean curvature. The examples converge to a totally geodesic submanifold of any dimension from 1 to $n$, and include cases which exist for infinite time. Convergence to a point was studied by Andrews, and only occurs in finite time. For dimension $n=2,$ the destiny of any harmonic mean curvature flow is strongly influenced by the genus of the surface $M^2$.
