      The propagation of elliptically polarised inhomogeneous plane waves in a linearly viscous fluid is considered. The angular frequency and the slowness vector are both assumed to be complex. Use is made throughout of Gibbs bivectors (complex vectors). It is seen that there are two types of solutions --- the zero pressure solution, for which the increment in pressure due to the propagation of the wave is zero, and a universal solution which is independent of the viscosity.
