In this paper, experimental observations of the overstable cellular convection which occurs in a layer of mercury heated uniformly from below, and subject to Coriolis forces, is described. The observations confirm Chandrasekhar's theoretical predictions regarding the wave number of the cells and of the characteristic period of the oscillatory motions. A detailed analysis of the movement of tracers clearly illustrates the periodic reversal of the convective circulation and the hexagonal pattern of the convection cells.
