The fine structure and Zeeman splitting of certain spectral lines in sunspot umbrae are studied. It is shown that unipolar sunspots pass through a stage when their umbrae contain light and dark sections consisting of light and dark fine-structure elements of different brightness, shape, and size. Bright fine-structure elements are concentrated in regions of the umbra lying in front of developing bays of the penumbra. It is found that in these regions of the umbra of a sunspot lying near the center of the solar disk the 6302.499 A Fe I and 5781.759 A CrI lines show a doublet, and in dark sections of the umbra a triplet pattern of splitting. The magnetic field strength is lower in light sections of an umbra than in dark sections.
