Some higher mode wave trains with irregular dispersion, and some anomalies in the S-wave motion at epicentral distances less than 30°, are shown to be shear-coupled higher modes. The group velocities along the higher mode portions of the paths agree well with observations of direct higher mode dispersion in Scandinavia.
