The character of orbital evolution for bodies moving near the if 1 : 3 commensurability with Jupiter was studied by model calculations for the time interval of ~500 years. A comparison of oscillations of the orbital elements a, e, q and q' is made for ensembles of bodies along three starting orbits in the vicinity of the sharp commensurability with Jupiter. These orbits are eccentric ones of low inclinations having perihelia near the Earth's orbit. Examples of a deceleration of the rate of orbital evolution near the sharp commensurability are revealed. The existence of a group of asteroids connected with the Kirkwood gap, i.e., being in a resonant motion with Jupiter, is suggested. A connection of asteroids 887 Alinda and 1915 Quetzalcoatl with this gap is confirmed.
