On the basis of the mean value of Tisserand's constant for the short-period comets in the Sun-Jupiter system the mean ejection velocity of these comets from Jupiter's sphere of action is found to be 6.1 km/sec. The hypothesis of isotropical ejection is substantiated. The distribution of short-period comets according to all orbital elements is obtained. The theoretical distribution is in agreement with the statistical data. It is shown that for the last 650 years from Jupiter's sphere of action were ejected about 600 comets including ≡500 short-periodic comets, 33 of them were disintegrated and more than 330 are not yet discovered.
