THE hypothesis that Jupiter's decameter radio sources may have a constant period has been widely accepted since its initial independent suggestion by Gallet1 and by Burke2. Estimates of this period have been made by many observers1-8, and no significant departures from the adopted mean period (System III (1957.0)-9h 55m 29.37s) have been established. Upper limits of +/- 2s to yearly fluctuations and of +/- 1s to slow secular changes over an eleven-year period, 1950-61, were set by Douglas7,8 and Douglas and Smith9. The apparent constancy of the rotation period, together with a constant difference in longitude between the three apparent activity regions, has supported the hypothesis that the radio sources are related to the non-gaseous body of the planet, perhaps through Jupiter's magnetic field.
