Upcoming missions to the outer planets have made evident the need for better theories of their satellites. We have been involved in an effort to provide better satellite theories through new observations (Abbot, Mulholland and Shelus 1975; Mulholland, Shelus and Abbot 1976; Mulholland and Shelus 1977; and Benedict, Shelus and Mulholland 1978), and new analytical theories (Jefferys and Ries 1975; Jefferys 1976. Hereinafter these are denoted Paper I and Paper II, respectively). In this paper we report on our incorporation of new and old observations into our theories, and on our progress on the theoretical front.
