On several occasions, repetitive X-ray brightenings, sometimes accompanied by mass injections into adjacent loops, appeared quasi-periodically with mean periods close to 20 minutes. In all cases when X-ray images were available, the sites of these brightenings were in active regions which were associated with large-scale coronal loops of length (2 - 3) x 105 km. Therefore, the primary source of these long-periodic pulsations might be slow-mode oscillations in these large-scale loops. Free magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) oscillations, proposed earlier by Roberts, Edwin, and Benz (1984), may fit the observed data.
