The equatorial counter-electrojet corresponds to a westward flow of currents within a narrow latitude band on either side of the dip-equator. The negative depressions of the regular daily variation S(R) in the horizontal component which it induces at these latitudes can be considered as an unexpected and abnormal reversal of the S(R). After defining the conditions of the identification of the counter-electrojet in the records, one describes various features of this phenomenon (its fugacity is the most outstanding), its time variations (with the 11-year solar cycle, with seasons, with the lunar age) and the variation of its average intensity with longitude. Finally, one points out how similar abnormal reversals of the S(R) variation occur at other latitudes and can be sometimes related to the occurrence of the equatorial counter-electrojet.
