Telescopic optical polarimetry made it possible to detect very faint residual dust pollution in the Martian atmosphere and to follow the evolution of dust storms. The present investigation is concerned with two events observed in 1973, which were not recorded by any spacecraft or space-borne instrumentation. Attention is given to the 1973-74 Mars polarimetric survey, the determination of the optical depth of the dust layer, the first dust-storm activity from July to September 1973, the second dust-storm from October to December 1973, and the last phase of dust settling. It was found that the Martian atmosphere recovered its transparency by the end of December.
