The properties of coherent oscillations with periods of tens of milliseconds that have been observed in seven variable X-ray sources and bursters are reviewed. Theoretical models for the generation of the oscillations are discussed. Difficulties with a magnetic rotator model are indicated. It is suggested that at least in several cases, g-mode oscillations of the neutron star provide a satisfactory explanation of the observations.
