  Attempts to interpret the observed oscillation spectrum of the SPB star HD
50230 are reported. We argue that a nearly equidistant period spacing found in
the oscillation spectrum of the star is most likely accidental. The observed
period distribution requires excitation of modes with the degree $\ell>4$. Much
more may be learned from the rich oscillation spectrum of the star but most of
the work is still ahead of us.
