In a previous paper the authors derived expansions of the derivatives of the disturbing function for the general case including the orbits close to intersection. The present paper deals especially with the case of close commensurability of the mean motions. A new variable v is introduced characterizing the deviation of the mean anomalies from the exact commensurability, and is considered further as an unknown quantity. In the equations of motion the short-period terms are eliminated. The form of expansions of the right-hand sides is chosen basing on the same principles as in the general case. The factors are separated, corresponding to the poles in the case of circular intersecting orbits. For rapidity of calculation the summation in powers of the major semi-axes ratio is made the inner one.
