Nahm's equations are solved for the cases corresponding to the spherically symmetric SU(N) monopoles of Wilkinson and Bais and their solutions reconstructed using his adaptation of the Atiyah-Drinfeld-Hitchin-Manin construction for self-dual gauge fields. The analysis of this class of solutions reveals the remarkably intricate structure of the construction.
