A statistical verification is conducted of some inferences which result from Lyttleton's hypothesis about the origin of comets. It is shown that if one is to exclude those comets which could experience the effect of the nucleus of the galaxy from the number of comets with period greater than 500 years, then the degree of correlation of real properties with the theoretical conclusions of Radzievskii and Tomanov (1972) (a high concentration of cometary orbit perihelia in the region of the solar apex and a deficiency of them near the antapex, dependence of the average perihelion distance and of the average value of the absolute stellar magnitude of comets on the angular distance of the periheia of their orbits from the solar apex, and the distribution of the poles and inclinations of the cometary orbits) is increased.
