High resolution photographs obtained at the Pic du Midi Observatory show that there are three types of sunspot light bridges according to their morphological structures: the photospheric ones, the penumbral ones and the umbral ones. Consequently there are no specific structures in light bridges; it

โฆ Synopsis
This study is based on photographs taken during the period March 1971 to June 1972. Various morphological features observed are described and their possible role in sunspot evolution discussed. It is pointed out that a light-bridge looks like the re-establishment of photospheric-like conditions.

The equivalent widths of the TiO lines in the a system have been measured on a high dispersion (11 mm/A,) spectrogram of large sunspot. The lines were so weak that the measurement was made by methods giving maximum and minimum equivalent widths, depending on the adopted continuum. The rotational tem
