Abstract. We give a probabilistic representation of all possible limiting distributions of sums of independent identically distributed random variables along subsequences of ${\msbm N}$ satisfying a geometrical growth condition and describe the distributions partially attracted to them. We investigate the structure of these domains of partial attraction and also discuss the effect of light trimming.
