The paper examines different aspects of Oort's hypothesis, according to which a large cometary cloud exists on the periphery of the solar system. It is shown that this hypothesis cannot account for the distribution of the aphelion distances and volume densities of long-period comets. A statistical analysis of the H10 parameter shows that the classification of comets as 'new' and 'old' cannot be substantiated. In addition, it is noted that if the Oort hypothesis is valid there should be an overpopulation of aphelia and perihelia near the ecliptic; this consequence has not been verified by the observational data.
