The Ginga observations of GX333-4 are examined. Two components were detected in the X ray spectrum: the X rays from an accreting disk and a hard tail component, whose energy spectrum can be represented by a Compton scattering model. The X rays showed various time scale variations. These variable components can be interpreted to be due to the hard tail. The observed lag time between the time variations of high and low energy X rays shows a particular plateau structure together with the structure of the increasing lag time with Fourier period, and the time variation of the X rays of 2.3 to 4.6 keV is most advanced.
