The subject of accretion flows in binary X-ray systems has been reviewed recently by Lightman et al. (1977), and the subject of accretion disks by Shu (1976). Here I shall emphasize developments that have occurred since those reviews were written, and concentrate on issues concerning the gas flows rather than the radiation mechanisms.
