Note on modulational instability of Boussinesq wavetrains

It is demonstrated that modulational instability may occur in Boussinesq wavetrains for wavenumbers k2>1, in contrast to the result found by Shivamoggi and Debnath. Both Whitham's averaged Lagrangian formulation and the technique of Benjamin and Feir are used.
