On three occasions the author has observed the Si III λλ4552 - 4574 line profiles in the typical B0.3 IV star δ Scorpii to vary over short time scales. The analysis of these variations suggests the presence of a total of six nonradial modes; no more than two are usually active at one time. These modes have short periods, large amplitudes, and are characterized by nonradial indices -m = l. Four of these modes seem to be members of a "commensurability" family. The physical pulsational amplitudes appear to be unequal from cycle to cycle. Some of the periods are "modulated" around a mean value. There is also a modulation pattern of periods which repeats during every superperiod (360° circuit of a wave around the star).
