We consider the C*-algebras constructed from certain hyperbolic dynamical systems. The construction, due to Ruelle, generalizes the C*-algebras of Cuntz and Krieger. We discuss relations between the C*-algebras, show the existence of natural asymptotically abelian systems and investigate the K-theory and E-theory of these C*-algebras.
