Abstract: The ground-based observations of the recently discovered Saturnian satellites, obtained during the 1980 apparition, have been collected from the IAU Circulars. These observations have been identified with and fitted to four orbital groups: (1) the inner pair of coorbital librating satellites; (2) the satellite Dione B near the L4 point of Dione-Saturn; (3) the satellites associated with the L4 and L5 points of Tethys-Saturn or one satellite uncomfortably near the orbit of Tethys; and (4) the F-ring satellites observed by Voyager I.
