(Solar Phys.). On 1973 January 11, a flare near the west limb of the Sun caused a coronal disturbance which was observed with a unique variety of instruments. Radio observations of a type II and a moving type IV burst were obtained by the CSIRO Division of Radiophysics at Culgoora, Australia; white-light observations of a large, moving cloud were made by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory coronagraph on OSO-7; K-corona observations of a decrease in coronal density were made by the High Altitude Observatory at Mauna Loa, Hawaii and Hα observations of a flare spray were made by the Institute for Astronomy, University of Hawaii at Haleakala (and also by H.A.O.).
