Abstract
It is shown that the oscillatory magnetic electron drift mode in an un magnetized plasma is unstable if the wavevector is not strictly perpen dicular to the external density and temperature gradients. A purely gr owing density gradient driven instability also has a small real freque ncy in this case.
