Scientific paper

Long-period comets are classified by their absolute magnitude, and a statistical test is made as to whether or not their perihelion points can be regarded as uniformly distributed in the northern and southern hemispheres. It is shown that the perihelia of faint comets (absolute magnitude, H0 ≥ 7.0) are more or less uniformly distributed in each hemisphere, but that the perihelia of bright comets (H0 ≤ 6.9) cannot be regarded as uniformly distributed. It may be concluded that the apparent deviation from uniform distribution is due to bright comets, and that it cannot be ascribed to observational selection.
