In the paper under review the author describes the dynamics of a Hamiltonian system with linear nonholonomic constraints in terms of distributions in the sense of Chevalley. He shows that the space of orbits of a proper action of a symmetry group of a distributional Hamiltonian system is a differential space partitioned by smooth manifolds preserved by the evolution. The reduced dynamics is given by the distributional Hamiltonian systems on the projections of the manifolds of the partition. All results are nicely exemplified on a concrete example.
