DESCRIPTION:The properties of internal solitary waves (ISWs) in stably-str
 atified fluid systems will be discussed and observational evidence of the 
 ubiquity and importance of such waves in the oceanic environment will be d
 escribed briefly.  Laboratory investigations by the author and his colleag
 ues into the behaviour of so-called Mode-1 ISWs will be summarised but the
  main emphasis will be placed on reporting the results of recent experimen
 tal studies of Mode-2 ISWs (sometimes denoted “varicose” or “bulging
 ” ISWs).  Laboratory data describing the behaviour and properties of the
 se waves will be compared with the predictions of two recent numerical mod
 elling studies by other groups.
