33. A. Rossberg proposed a possible interpretation of this behavior (private communication). In region IV, rolls are actually only Eckhaus unstable and near the band center Q = 0 zigzag unstable. Therefore the zigzag instability will set in only after the wavenumber reduction via the Eckhaus is achieved. This leads to the successive two instabilities.
