The Hamiltonian of the second order with respect to the disturbing mass, as defined in the higher order-higher degree theory of asteroid secular perturbations by Yuasa (1973), is expressed in the heliocentric, ecliptic coordinate system. Errors found in the original paper with terms coming from the principal part of the disturbing function are removed, and corrected values of the coefficients are computed. The importance of second-order perturbations and the improvement ih the accuracy of proper element determination, achieved by using the newly-obtained coefficients, are demonstrated. Finally, a table of the secular frequencies as functions of the semimajor axis is given, and compared with the analogous one by Kozai (1979).
