Scientific paper

The survey conducted in 1973 for Trojan asteroids, in a region centered on Selected Area 68 of the Lagrangian point L4 in the earth-Jupiter system, is presently combined with the surveys of 1960 and 1965 in order to obtain an improved distribution of the number of Trojans as a function of distance to L4. A preliminary consideration of these data yields a value of 2.0 for the ratio of Trojans around L4 and L5, around the ecliptic. Taking the deficiency of L5 Trojans in orbits of small inclination into account, this ratio is also found to be 2.0 for the total Trojan clouds around L4 and L5.
