    The author gives some kind of rectifiable Jordan curve \(\gamma\) in \({\mathbb{R}}^ 3\), such that (1) \(\Gamma\) bounds an oriented minimal surface \(S_ 0\) of disk type, which is unstable; and (2) a sequence of minimal surfaces \(S_ n(n=1,2,...)\) of the same type as \(S_ 0\) spanning \(\gamma\) cluster at \(S_ 0\) in a natural topology. A crux of the proof lies in constructing infinitely many stationary points of the Dirichlet integral functional, which furnishes it with distinct and no absolutely minimal values.
