Abstract
Shatter oscillations are an apparently novel type in which the pressure sinks periodically to the minimum value which the liquid can sustain, the liquid mass becoming then porous or "shattered"; they tend to be much slower but more powerful than purely elastic vibrations and the wave-form is very different, pressure impulses alternating with long intervals of quiet. An experimental case is described and the general theory of such oscillations is developed. Further experiments are needed.
