MHD surface waves of m = -1 (poloidal mode number of left-hand rotation) compressional Alfven waves in cylindrical finite-beta plasma have been observed for the first time to propagate together with shear Alfven waves. These modes also show a distinctive feature: the dispersion merges with that of shear Alfven waves at the center of a plasma column when a limiting frequency below the ion cyclotron frequency is reached. The experimental results confirm a recent prediction concerning surface-wave properties of the first radial eigenmode of a nonaxisymmetric compressional wave in a plasma surrounded by an insulating boundary.
