Let \({\mathbb R}^n\) denote the \(n\)-dimensional Riemannian space of constant curvature. Let \(F^2\subset {\mathbb R}^n\) be a two-dimensional \(C^3\)-surface with flat normal connection such that each geodesic on \(F^2\) has constant first curvature. The author gives a complete description of such surfaces. In particular, it is proved that all such surfaces are of constant curvature.
