The possibility of incorporating the resonant effect and jet stream formation process into the problems of the Hilda asteroids and Kirkwood gaps is discussed qualitatively. It appears that formation of the precursor jet streams of the resonant asteroids in the main belt would be suppressed due to the collisional perturbation effect of the ambient matter in this region. Together with the biased distribution of near-resonant asteroids, the depletion across the Kirkwood gaps could be understood. Within the context of jet stream theory the existence of Hilda asteroids outside the main belt requires the original limit of the main belt to be not much more extensive than the present value of 3.5 AU. This is suggestive of a cosmogonic origin of the observed outer limit.
