The perturbation of the orbital motion of six short-period comets by Jupiter is investigated analytically, integrating the equations of motion and applying a simplified model based on the restricted three-dimensional elliptical three-body problem (for the sun, Jupiter, and the comet). The data and results are presented in a table and a graph and characterized, and the long-term evolution of the comets' motion is considered. The mean daily motions of comets du Toit 1974 IV, Tempel-Tuttle 1965 IV, Olbers 1956 IV, Pons-Brooks 1954 VII, and Brorsen-Metcalf 1919 III are shown to be in 5:4, 14:5, 6:1, 6:1, and 6:1 resonance with Jupiter, respectively. It is found that the libration of comet Neujmin 1 (1984e) began in the year 10 38 and should persist for several millennia, as predicted by Marsden (1970).
