Two dwarf spheroidal galaxies are associated with the Magellanic Stream with their major axes oriented along it. Evidence suggests that all the dwarf spheroidal satellites of the Galaxy belong to one or other of two streams of tidal debris. If this is true the orbits will give the first reliable determination of the total mass of the Galaxy out to 120 kpc.
