This paper applies the Melnikov method to autonomous perturbations of completely integrable Hamiltonian systems. The forcing of the perturbed system is caused by internal oscillations which are not necessarily decoupled. A unified treatment is presented which relates some results of Holmes and Marsden with a result of Lerman and Umanskii. It is also shown that two forms of the Melnikov function by integrals are in fact equal.
