A union curve on a surface in a euclidean 3-space, relative to a given congruence is characterized by the property that its osculating plane at each point contains the ray of the congruence through that point. Springer (2) and Pan (1) have studied union curves in a hypersurface Vn of a Riemannian Vn+1. In the present paper we proceed to obtain the equations of union curves in a subspace Vn of a Riemannian Vm.
