The properties of the radio pulses from pulsars are described. The formation of pulses seems to be a geometric phenomenon, for which the beaming due to relativistic motion of the source is the only candidate at present. Values of the volume emissivity and surface flux density indicate that all the particles near the source must have relativistic energies.
