The dynamic properties of the dust striae, observed in comets West 1976VI, and Mrkos 1957V, are reexamined in terms of the high speed emission model (HS model) proposed by Notni (1966). It is demonstrated that most striae can be well fitted to modified synchrones but this kind of fitting does not lead to a conclusive model; in most cases, the dynamic solution is not unique, and, furthermore, the derived high values of the ejection speed appear to be unrealistic, particularly for distant (or old) striae. The results suggest that the required initial velocity could be better interpreted as indicating the presence of nonradial acceleration.
