A study has been made of the characteristics of the F2-region equatorial anomaly in the African, American and East Asian sectors during quiet days of the 1958 equinoxes, particular attention being given to its diurnal development. It is shown that the evening enhancement of the crests north and south of the magnetic equator occurs first on the side near to the geographic equator. An examination of the latitude variation of hmF2, derived from M(3000)F2 data, for the evening hours shows a marked asymmetry about the magnetic equator, the greater heights also occurring on the side near to the geographic equator. It is suggested that this sequence in the development of the crests, together with the height asymmetry, supports the hypothesis that they result from diffusion of ionization along magnetic lines of force from above the magnetic equator.
