Previous investigations of the stability of hierarchical three-body systems by Harrington (1972, Cel. Mech., 1; 1975, AJ, 80 and 1977, AJ, 82), and by Black (1982, AJ, 87), Graziani & Black (1981, ApJ, 251) and Pendleton & Black (1983, AJ, 88) give conflicting results. A new numerical examination of such systems and the corresponding stability criteria indicate that the Black functions give the general qualitative behaviour for very large and very small values of the third component; while for the range close to the equal-mass case the Harrington criterion is the more appropriate. Neither criterion was found to be satisfactory but it was found that the new results obtained are, however, in very good quantitative agreement with those obtained from the analytical c 2 H method
