Popis:	It was for the first time that a hydrodynamic instability has been experimentally observed in a layer of a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) having a free surface and being locally heated from below. Steady structures of CLC motion have been obtained in the form of rotating (in the place) spirals consisting of distinct rolls with sharp boundaries; motion in every such roll was note also. It is supposed that the convective instability observed is due to Marangoni effect.
