HD 104237 is the brightest Herbig Ae star, and as such a pre-main sequence (PMS) star. It is also a spectroscopic binary with determined orbital parameters. It was observed in 1999-2000 at SAAO and Mt Stromolo and 1888 Echelle spectra were obtained. From these observations, 8 pulsation frequencies were detected among which 5 with very high confidence (Boehm et al. 2004). We present here a preliminary seismic study based on these observations. We also consider the problem of the excitation of the observed modes and show, as an important result of our study, that HD 104237 is not a delta Sct type pulsator.
