The results of the spectrophotometrical measurements of the polarization in the coronal lines Fe xIv 5303 fit and Fe x 6374 fit are given. Polarization spectrograms were obtained by two spectrographs (prism and echelle types) during the solar eclipse in Mexico on 7 March, 1970 near the region of the

โฆ Synopsis
By means of a photographic polarimeter, we attempted to measure both the amount and direction of linear polarization of all emission lines between 3400 and 9000 A~ in the inner corona (l.034<<_r/ro < 1.085). Only the green and red coronal lines have been analyzed in detail. Neither of these lines shows polarization exceeding the probable error of 1.0~ for A 5303 and 1.8 070 for Z 6374. None of the other 17 coronal lines observed during the 7 March, 1970 solar eclipse show any obvious (>5070) polarization. * Presently at the Sacramento Peak Observatory.
