Scientific paper

Evolving models of a stationary and a slowly rotating triaxial ellipsoidal system are presented. The final large-scale properties of the models are in general promisingly similar to those of observed elliptical galaxies, and there is no suggestion that the triaxial shape disappears over 4 billion years. The orbits of 2 per cent of the 25,000 stars have been followed in detail, and these show that essentially only two simple orbital families are involved.
