The opportunities for stratifying the fast-electron beams that generate type III solar radio bursts are discussed. Stratification can result from the growth of electromagnetic instability in a direction normal to the beam velocity, and it will cause the plasma-wave energy density to develop an oscillating space distribution. Analysis of the problem furnishes an explanation of the direct measurements of plasma waves in type III burst sources.
