Some of the effects of spatial and time inhomogeneities upon the galactic diffusion of cosmic rays are studied. It is noted that the ways in which spatial inhomogeneities alter the anisotropy with changing energy are very dependent upon the particular model for cosmic-ray origins chosen. The consequences of assuming bursts of cosmic rays occuring randomly in time instead of continuously are examined. It is shown that in a monoenergetic approximation this possibility would be unobservable, regardless of the frequency of the bursts. The above calculations are first done for generalized medium shapes. They are then applied to a specific model in order to examine their consequences.
