A study of quasi-periodic orbits about the translunar libration point conducted by Farquhar and Kamel (1973) is considered. In the analysis position is measured in a rotating frame with origin at the earth-moon barycenter. An instability of the orbits close to the libration point diminishes as the orbits grow nearer to the moon and shorter in period. The parameeters for a narrow band of stable orbits are examined. Parameter relations concerning the 'halo' orbits are presented in a number of graphs.
