We derive the $Sigma$-$D$ relation of Galactic supernova remnants of shell-type separately at adiabatic-phase and at radiative-phase through two sets of different formulas, considering the different physical processes of shell-type remnants at both stages. Also statistics on Galactic shell-type remnants about 57 was made. Then we do some comparison with other results obtained before. It shows that all the best fit lines in the $Sigma$-$D$ relation plots newly are to some extent flatter than those derived by some authors at early time. Our theoretical and statistical outcomes are in somewhat good consistency.
