The paper discusses the observational data on cataclysmic binaries and possible correlations between the type of behavior and the binary period. A numerical procedure for evolving Roche-lobe-filling stars is applied to white dwarf-red dwarf binaries for various mass loss and angular momentum loss mechanisms and initial conditions. The results are classified into normal, nuclear evolution dominated, angular momentum loss dominated, and hydrodynamical evolution modes. It is suggested that the short period systems arise mainly from late case B mass transfer in the original binary and the longer period systems from case C.
