The Laplace-Lagrange secular theory applied by Yokoyama et al. (1988) to the 3/1 and 2/1 asteroidal resonances is used to obtain formulae for the instability region of the first-order resonance p = (p + 1)/p. As this approach yields the instability region even for 3/2 resonance, where Hildas are observed, it is concluded that this calculation in itself cannot explain the origin of Kirkwood gaps and that more refined methods allowing to calculate the maximum eccentricity have to be applied.
