The numbered asteroids are classified into families by a new method proposed by the author(Kozai, 1979a) and their characteristics are studied by several aspects. It seems to the author that there are two kinds of the families, one being very compact in the phase space and containing many faint as well as a few bright asteroids and one being rather loose and bounded by secular and mean motion commensurable regions.
