The widths and rms variations of line centers for 1393-A profiles from the Si IV ion in the solar transition zone, as observed by OSO-8, are analyzed to give the amplitudes and periods of three postulated types of disturbance: sinusoidal acoustic waves, sinusoidal acoustic shocks, and normally propagated MHD waves. All three assumptions lead to mean intervals between disturbances of 40-50 s, but acoustic waves and shocks are ruled out because they predict intensifications of brightness far in excess of anything observed. MHD disturbances in magnetic fields of the order of 2 G are consistent with observations, but normally propagated disturbances also give too great an intensification in brightness. Disturbances with wave vectors at an angle to the magnetic field are suggested.
