It is shown that the whistler and/or electron-cyclotron structures which have been observed in one-dimensional computer calculations are unstable to decay by resonant three-wave interaction. The perturbing waves propagate at an angle to the primary wave. The conditions for instability to occur and the pertinent growth rates are presented.
