A theoretical description of the Jeans collapse of thin, uniformly rotating, self-gravitating gaseous discs is developed. The principal modes of fragmentation, which govern the evolution of the discs, are determined. It is shown that the discs fragment into a semiregular pattern of interlaced filaments with exponentially growing density contrast. These patterns resemble very closely the patterns found in numerical simulations of fragmenting rotating discs.
