It is noted that the theory of the adiabatic invariant predicts the long-term evolution of mechanical systems with slowly varying parameters. The theory, however, is not valid when the system goes across a critical trajectory. The importance of this case derives from the fact that it can lead to capture into resonance. Analyzing the motion in the vicinity of the critical trajectory, general formulas are given for the probability of capture and it is shown that, in general, the adiabatic invariant is conserved. Allowance is made here for the geometrical discontinuity in its definition at the critical orbit.
