Asteroids with unstable orbits have been detected which may penetrate into Jupiter's sphere of activity. The orbital evolution of four such asteroids (2190, 2824, 6375, and 9514) is investigated over the 400-year interval from 1660 to 2059. The first three passed through Jupiter's sphere of activity twice, white 9514 passed through only once. Changes in perihelia, aphelia, and major semiaxes are tabulated for 2824 and 9514, and their orbital elements in the epoch of February 8, 1660, are compared with those of Hidalgo. It is shown that these two asteroids belonged to the Hidalgo group, but were transferred to Thule-type orbits after passage through Jupiter's sphere of activity.
