Abstract
The method of multiple scales is used to analyse the nonlinear propagation of waves on the surface of a fluid column in the presence of a magnetic fie ld. The evolution of the amplitude is governed by a nonlinear Schrodinger e quation which gives the criterion for modulational instability. Numerical r esults are given in graphical form.
