Abstract
The six known families of symmetric simple-periodic oscillations of a charged particle in the meridian plane of an elementary magnetic dipole are now presented in a complete form. They begin and terminate by flattening on the equatorial plane of the dipole field. Three new families, consisting of asymmetric periodic oscilltaions, are discovered to branch out of the families of symmetric periodic oscillations of the open-path type.
