Summary:Gravitational theory is considered here in the bimetric formulation with a Lagrangian of the most common type and quadratic with respect to the derivatives of the metric tensor. Restrictions on the dimensionless parameters of the theory are found based on a comparison with Newtonian theory and on an analysis of corresponding observational data in the vicinity of the solar system. Propagation of weak gravitational waves outside the gravitational field is investigated. (C.D.)
