Neutron monitor data are presented which were collected at Thule near North Pole and McMurdo near South Pole on Nov. 12 and 15, 1960, and which appear to be associated with a 3+ solar flare. The data, plotted as % deviation from preflare level and as DELTA I(McMurdo)/ DELTA I(Thule), show a twohumped increase and relative increase at McMurdo on Nov. 12 but only a one-humped increase and no relative increase at McMurdo on Nov. 15. The onset times are approximately the same at both stations for both events. The implications of the data regarding anisotropy of cosmic radiation are discussed. M.L.C.)
