    In the paper complete Riemannian manifolds of positive Ricci curvature with an embedded closed minimal hypersurface are investigated. The author proves results generalizing the following result due to Myers: There exists no closed immersed minimal submanifold in an open hemisphere. In addition a sphere theorem for manifolds of positive Ricci curvature with an upper bound for the sectional curvature and a lower bound for the volume is proved.
