Transverse amplitude modulations of fast magnetosonic waves propagating perpendicular to the background magnetic field are shown to be unstable on a time scale z-~ 211/V, ep, if the wave amplitude ~0 exceeds a critical value, tpc = Cs/V a. The slow modes generated by the modulational instability und
