The Sondheimer oscillation is measured for the magnetic field in the (110) plane. For the field along the [100] and [110] axes, the periods, the phases, and the field dependences of the amplitude were carefully examined. When the field is tilted from the principal axes, a peculiar wave form is observed. Realistic calculations which include the exponentially decaying factor are made on the basis of the 4‐OPW Fermi surface (FS) model. The peculiar wave form and still unexplained field dependence of the oscillation amplitude are well explained when the exponential factor is taken into account.
