Of the five large increases of intensity, the event of February 23, 1956, was the most outstanding for quantitative study. It provided direct evidence for the occasional production of particles with energies up to 20 to 30 Bev for protons, evidence for important interplanetary magnetic fields, and evidence on the mode of charged particle propagation from the solar source to the earth. Some of the important experimental results from various locations are reviewed. Recent results concerning the initial stages in the propagation of flare panticles are discussed. General features of the increase of cosmic ray intensity are graphically shown. (A.C.)
