The paper summarizes observations of selected solar flares made with a far-UV spectroheliograph (190-465 A) and a UV spectrograph (900-1900 A) aboard Skylab. The emission lines used in the present analysis are identified, and three events are described in detail: the flare of June 15, 1973, a small subflare observed on August 9, 1973, and the flare of January 21, 1974. Ultraviolet images of two other events are also presented in an attempt to sketch a general picture of a flare as seen in this spectral region. It is found that a small kernel seems to be the source of the primary energy release of a flare. The size, electron density, and ion temperature of a typical kernel are estimated, and it is noted that hot clouds of coronal gas at 20 million K surrounded the observed kernels. It is speculated that flare kernels might be very thin channels through which high-energy particles, originating in deep layers, are ejected into the corona.
