Abstract
Lamb has identified a certain class of moving space curves with soliton equ ations. We show that there are two other classes of curve evolution that ma y be so identified. Hence three distinct classes of curve evolution are ass ociated with a given integrable equation. The nonlinear Schrodinger equatio n is used to illustrate this explicitly.
