It is shown that in weaker relativistic configurations the sequences undergo a continuous bifurcation from a disc to a ring structure, while in stronger relativistic cases the sequences terminate at the mass-shed limit where gravitational forces are exactly balanced by centrifugal forces. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9701071v1
