Abstract: Three types of characterizations for two subclasses of spherical distributions are presented. Within the class of spherical distributions, we prove that the symmetric Kotz-type distributions (under some restricted parameters) and the symmetric Pearson-type II distributions are characterized by certain marginal and conditional distributions, and the distributions of some quadratic forms, respectively.
