It is shown that the infall of collisionless dark matter onto isolated
galaxies produces a series of caustic rings in the halo dark matter
distribution. The properties of these caustics are investigated. The density
profile of the caustic is derived for a specific case. Bumps in the rotation
curve of NGC 3198 are interpreted as due to caustic rings of dark matter.
