We examine the longitudinal distribution of the stars escaping from a cluster
along tidal tails. Using both theory and simulations, we show that, even in the
case of a star cluster in a circular galactic orbit, when the tide is steady,
the distribution exhibits maxima at a distance of many tidal radii from the
cluster.
