A layer of mercury heated from below and subject to rotation first becomes unstable via a state of purely oscillatory motions. For a Rayleigh number, generally, much in excess of the value at which overstability sets in, the system becomes unstable also for ordinary stationary convection. Chandrasekhar has suggested that one might be able to detect the onset of this latter mode of instability even though it will be superimposed over the overstable pattern. The present experiments confirm this expectation in a quantitative way.
