review text: Some special types of test particle motions are studied, using Carter's first integrals for timelike geodesics. After a qualitative discussion of the general features of the orbits, the equations of motion are solved analytically for the case of spherical orbits (with constant coordinate radius) and some subcases of nonspherical orbits.
