Scientific paper

It is shown that boxiness can be caused by a distribution function sharply biased towards high angular momentum orbits. Some models are presented which are axially symmetric with velocity which drops slowly away from the equatorial plane. Such models can be thought of as very thick hot discs, and the author argues that this is a clue as to the origin of such systems.
