Three-dimensional stability of drift vortices, in which the three-dimensionality is caused by a coupling of the vortex to ion-acoustic waves that propagate along the magnetic field, has recently been studied [Phys. Plasmas {bold 3}, 160 (1996)]. It is the purpose of the present Comment to draw attention to an important body of numerical results on this problem published in {ital Plasma} {ital Physics} {bold 18}, 187 (1976). {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
