Abstract
THE problem of the instability of the ‘liquid surface’ separating two media has fascinated and attracted many investigators but the complexity of the phenomenon as seen in the laboratory and in everyday life, as well as the difficulty of the mathematics, have made progress very slow in the direction of a solution.
