Many points of similarity are noted between the movement and morphology of the inter-tropical airglow arcs, described by Barbier and his co-workers, and the crests of the ionospheric equatorial anomaly during both quiet and disturbed conditions, at different epochs of the sunspot cycle and in different seasons. The evidence makes it reasonable to assume that the observed movements of the arcs towards the Equator during the night indicate corresponding movements of the crests of the equatorial anomaly. It is thus concluded that the crests move towards the magnetic equator at a rate of approximately 1·5°/hr during the period 18.00-24.00 L.M.T., and that the rate of movement decreases after midnight and ceases at about 03.00 L.M.T. This movement is the exact reverse of that observed during the development of the equatorial anomaly when the crests move outwards at a rate of approximately 1·4°/hr until 15.00 L.M.T. when they are furthest from the Equator.
