...one fifth ; but the eccentricities of the orbits of the asteroids range from near zero to one third. 4. But the most striking peculiarity of these orbits...Themis, being the largest of all the orbits, completely inclose nearly all of them, and lock into but a small number ; while the orbits of Massilia, Astraea,... | |

...the conclusion that similar causes have operated in determining the orbits of this zone of planets. The most striking peculiarity of these orbits is,...materially as hoops, they all hang together as one system Indeed, if we seize hold of any orbit at random, it will drag all the other orbits along with it.

A similar remark applies to the position of the perihelia. In the first half of the zodiac we find twenty-five perihelia, while only eight remain for the other half of the circumference. We could not have anticipated any such bias in the orbits if they...
