✦ Synopsis

As part of a search for possible magnetic transients in the transition region, polarization observations were made in the Crv line at 1548 ,~ during a flare on 1980, July 13. In contradiction to earlier informal reports, it is not possible to state that magnetic transients of several thousand gauss have really been detected. This conclusion is based primarily on the lack of correlation in the circular polarization signals observed in the two halves of the spectral line and also on the possible effects of rapid fluctuations of intensity, velocity, and line width and shape.
