The line-profile variations have been found in many early-type stars surrounding the classical β Cephei variables in the H-R diagram. The feature of the variations has not been known enough mainly because of their periods of about one day. To specify the cause of the variations, however, it is necessary to make clear their features such as the multi-periodicity, the relation between the photometric variations and the spectroscopic ones, and the cause of existence or non-existence of mode (or period) switching (Balona 1991, Smith 1991). In Be stars, the correlation of the amplitude of the variations with their emission cycle is also important (Ando 1986).
