The properties of coronal arches located on the peripheries of active regions, observed during a sounding rocket flight on March 8, 1973, are discussed. The arches are found to overlie filament channels and their footpoints are traced on locations on the perimeters of supergranulation cells. The arches have a wide range of lengths although their widths are well approximated by the value 2.2 x 10 to the 9th cm. Comparison of the size of the chromospheric footprint with the arc width indicates that arches do not always expand as they ascend into the corona. The electron temperatures and densities of the plasma contained in the arches were measured and the pressure calculated; typical values are 2-million K, 1 x 10 to the 9th/cu cm, and 0.2 dyne/sq cm, respectively. The variation of these parameters with position along the length of the arch indicates that the arches are not in hydrostatic equilibrium.
