A striking feature of magnetic storms with a large main phase is that auroras appear in lower latitudes than usual. This study shows that during a considerable part of the two great storms of 23 September 1957 and 11 February 1958, the usual region of most frequent aurora was deserted, representing a temporary equatorward shift of the northern border of auroral activityE It is also shown that the range of latitude in which auroras appear overhead, intermittently expands and contracts; these changes are discussed in relation to the polar magnetic sub-storms. Red glows, which are seen occasionally in low and middle latitudes during large magnetic storms, are intensified in parallel with the activity of polar magnetic sub-storms.
