The study of the possible shapes of orbits of globular clusters of stars is closely connected with problems of studying the processes of formation and evolution of stars. The main difficulty in studying the orbits of these objects is the incompleteness of the information about the initial conditions of the motion, in particular the nearly complete absence of observational material on the proper motions of globular clusters. For that reason the study of the motion of these objects by direct dynamic methods has not yet succeeded. In such conditions it is necessary to resort to statistical methods developed by Edmondson and Von Hoerner, which make it possible to draw certain conclusions about the possible shapes of orbits of globular clusters on the basis of the Newtonian point-mass model. The purpose of this paper is to test the results of investigations of other authors against the latest observational data on globular clusters of stars and to develop the method itself further.
