The structure and evolution of 26 limb flares have been observed with a soft X-ray telescope flown on Skylab. The results are: (1) One or more well defined loops were the only structures of flare intensity observed during the rise phase and near flare maximum, except for knots which were close to the resolution of the telescope; (2) the flare core features were always sharply defined during rise phase; and (3) for the twenty events which contained loops, the geometry of the structure near maximum was that of a loop in ten cases, a loop with a spike at the top in four cases, a cusp or triangle in four cases, and a cusp combined with a spike in another two cases. Based on observation of the original film, it is suggested that flares which underwent large scale deformations had become unstable to MHD kinks. This implies that these flares occurred in magnetic flux tubes through which significant currents were flowing.
