The Dirac monopoles in 3-space and their generalization by C.N. Yang to 5-space are observed to be just the Levi-Civita spin connections of the cylindrical Riemannian metric on the 3-and 5-dimensional punctured spaces respectively. Their straightforward generalization to higher dimensions is also investigated.
