Suppose that \(\beta >1\) is a real number. Let T be the mapping \(Tx=\beta x mod 1\). A Salem number is an algebraic integer \(\beta >1\) each of whose other conjugates \(\gamma\) satisfies \(| \gamma | \leq 1\), with at least one \(| \gamma | =1\). It is proved that a Salem number of degree 4 is a periodic point of T and its \(\beta\)-expansion is determined explicitly.
