      The effect of elastic nonlinearity on the propagation of Rayleigh waves in an anisotropic elastic solid is considered. A nonlinear integro- differential equation is derived for a quantity which is related to the Fourier transform of the displacement components on the surface. The variation of this quantity along the surface accounts for the slow modulation of the wave through formation and depletion of the different harmonics. Explicit results are given for harmonic generation in an initially sinusoidal wave and for parametric amplification of a weak signal by a pump wave of twice its frequency.
