Abstract: The problem of two viscous, incompressible fluids separated by a nearly spherical free surface is considered in general terms as an initial-value problem to first order in the perturbation of the spherical symmetry. As an example of the applications of the theory, the free oscillations of a viscous liquid drop and of a bubble in a viscous liquid are studied in some detail. It is shown that the oscillations are initially describable in terms of an irrotational approximation, and that the normal-mode results are recovered as $t \to \infty$. In between these asymptotic regimes, however, the motion is significantly different from either approximation.
