Abstract
The existence of modes of cellular convection driven by thermal instability which are oscillatory in type, rather than steady, has been predicted theoretically for systems that are rotating as a whole. Such modes are of a type called "overstable" by Eddington in a different connection. The result of an initial successful experiment with mercury is given.Keywords
