McMath Plage 15266, which transited the solar disk during Carrington Rotation 1667, gave rise during its passage to a spectacular sequence of five proton producing flares. Solar circumstances leading up to the formation of the active plage are described. An account is given of the magnetic affiliations and optical characteristics of the flares themselves, and it is suggested that four of these events might be interpreted as two twin phase flares displaying secondary maxima and minima such that the second phase in each case could in some sense be deemed a consequence of phenomena initiated during the first phase. Those particle phenomena associated with the observed activity are reviewed, and it is suggested that the azimuthal propagation of solar cosmic rays in the corona may occur more efficiently for flares at eastern longitudes in which the magnetic axis is aligned in a roughly north to south rather than an east-to-west direction.
