For a system consisting of a medium-plasma and an externally injected beam with non-uniform density and temperature, electron-plasma oscillations are described on the basis of lineal macroscopic equations. In the onedimensional case the spatially growing plasma wave and the standing plasma wave are discussed. It is found that in the former a wave propagating toward decreasing density grows up higher than in the uniform case; in the latter the wave-length becomes shorter towards lower density and jumps of mede and frequency occur at a thickness of the layer greater than that in the uniform plasma. Toward increasing density the circumstances mentioned above are reversed. A brief account is given on the two- dimensional case. (auth)
