also, soon after totality, a new layer formed between the F1-and F2-layers; but, although its density increased very rapidly, it quickly rose in height and merged into the normal F2-layer, the density of which had remained quite constant during the eclipse. The sequence of events in the F2-layer both at Khartoum and Ibadan, and also during the normal sunrise period, is suggestive of the generation of free electrons at a fairly low level and the vertical trans-port of this ionization to higher levels where the much lower recombination coefficient results in the very slow rate of decay normally associated with the F2-layer.Es-Layer; Corpuscular Eclipse An unusual and very deep minimum in the critical frequency of the sporadic E-layer occurred with a time-lag of about 90 min. after totality at Khartoum. Although no similar change had been observed during the control period, it would be speculative to suggest that it had any connexion with the eclipse. It is usual to look for possible evidence of a corpuscular eclipse in the ionosphere about two hours before the optical one, but none was observed on this occasion. During the night preceding the eclipse, an ionospheric storm resulted in low and fluctuating values for the electron density in the F2-layer, and it is possible that storm effects would have masked any corpuscular eclipse effects which might have been present.
