In this paper, we have considered the reflection and refraction of a plane wave at an interface between two half-spaces. The lower half-spaces is composed of highly anisotropic triclinic crystalline material and the upper half-space is homogeneous and isotropic. It has been assumed that due to incidence of a plane quasi-P (qP) wave, three types of waves, namely, quasi-P (qP), quasi-SV (qSV) and quasi-SH (qSH), will be generated in the lower half space whereas P and S waves will be generated in the upper half space. The phase velocities of all the quasi waves have been calculated. It has been assumed that the direction of particle motion is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Some specific relations have been established between directions of motion and propagation, respectively. The expressions for reflection coefficients of qP, qSV, qSH and refracted coeffi-cients of P and SV waves are obtained. Results of reflection and refraction coeffi-cients are presented.
