An investigation of the de Haas--van Alphen effect in Zr has been made using the field-modulation method in fields to 92 kG. Three new branches in the de Haas--van Alphen spectrum have been observed and several previously observed branches have been extended over wider angular ranges. The ..beta.. and ..gamma.. branches have been shown to coalesce into a single branch and have been traced throughout all three symmetry planes. The cyclotron mass values have been obtained for this branch at <1120> and <1010>. The Fermi-surface model of Jepsen, Andersen, and Mackintosh appears to be able to account for the experimental results if it is appropriately modified, particularly in the third and fourth Brillouin zones.
