An almost Hermitian manifold (, J, g) with Riemannian connection is called nearly Kaehlerian if (xJ)X = 0 for any . The typical example is the sphere S6. The nearly Kaehlerian structure J for S6 is constructed in a natural way by making use of Cayley division algebra [3]. It is because of this nearly Kaehler, non-Kaehler, structure that S6 has attracted attention. Different classes of submanifolds of S6 have been considered by A. Gray [4], K. Sekigawa [5] and N. Ejiri [2]. In this paper we study 2-dimensional totally real submanifolds of S6. These are submanifolds with the property that for every x є M, J (Tx M) belongs to the normal bundle v. For this class we have obtained the following result.
