Characteristics of plane galactic orbits in a model galaxy with an axially symmetric background and a weak time-dependent bar potential are examined in the region between corotation and the center of the galaxy. Trapped orbits in the time-dependent case and their population with nonperiodic orbits in the case of oval distortion imposed on the axially symmetric gravitational background potential are calculated, giving rise to a maximum in the curve Omega-(k/2), where Omega is the mean orbital frequency of the circular motion around the galactic center, and k is the epicyclic frequency. Results are qualitatively similar to those of Contopoulos et al. (1977, 1980), and it is shown that when oval distortion is slowly growing in time, the population around the guiding-center orbits depends strongly on the growth-rate and the chosen function of growth.
