The energy and angular-momentam integrals for a test-particle moving in the field of a time-independent and axisynmetric perfect-fluid source are derived in the first and second post-Newtonian approximations. The metric tensor in cyjindrical coordinates is derived, and it is shown that it is independent of the azimuthal angle. Then the integrals of motion are derived explicitly from the geodesic equations. (auth)
