Based on the recent Ginga results, following topics on X-ray binaries are briefly discussed: The cyclotron resonnance features observed from several X-ray pulsars, and related problem of the magnetic field decay. Search for millisec. pulsations from LMXRBs. Very bright transients which are suspected to be new black hole candidates, and an estimation of the number of such black hole sources in our galaxy.
