We develop a microscopic picture of the electron states localized at the
edges perpendicular to the chains in the Bechgaard salts in the quantum Hall
regime. In a magnetic-field-induced spin-density-wave state (FISDW)
characterized by an integer N, there exist N branches of chiral gapless edge
excitations. Localization length is much longer and velocity much lower for
these states than for the edge states parallel to the chains. We calculate the
contribution of these states to the specific heat and propose a time-of-flight
experiment to probe the propagating edge modes directly.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures. V.2: Minor changes to the final version published
