An analysis of the observations of the minor planets (153) Hilda, (279) Thule and (334) Chicago yields the following values for the reciprocal mass of Jupiter: (153) Hilda 1047.378 ±0.019, (279) Thule 1047.347 ±0.023, (334) Chicago 1047.325 ± 0.010. A possible error in the mass of Saturn that might affect these results is discussed.
