Abstract This survey concerns mostly the theory of free oscillations, with a section on experimental work included at the end. Developments over the last 15 years are examined. The general theory of free oscillations is reviewed, and the effect on free oscillations of such factors as heterogeneity, the Earth's rotation and non-sphericity, and the source of the oscillations are discussed. Earth models, which have been obtained from oscillation data, are reviewed, and their use in forming theoretical seismograms is described.
