We have analysed expressions for the spin part of the density vector of the angular momentum (moment of momentum) of elliptically polarised cnoidal waves and breathers propagating in an isotropic gyrotropic medium with second order frequency dispersion and spatial cubic nonlinearity dispersion. We have found that, due to nonlinear gyration, the density of the angular momentum depends on time and propagation coordinates. The bibliography includes 25 references. (nonlinear optical phenomena)
