High resolution studies (2' of arc beam) were made with the east-west arm of the Christiansen radio interferometer for about 50 21-cm solar burst- events during 1958-1961. The burst sources were always closely associated in position with already existing radio plage regions of the Sun's slowly varying decimeter radiations. They had sizes of from 2 to 5' of arc, never exceeded but often approached in size their parent plage region, and showed no major movements during their development. Brightness temperatures ranged up to 2 x 10/sup 9/ l K (mostly between 10/sup 7/ and 10/sup 8/ l K More bursts were observed near the Sun's center than near the limb, and more on the western than on the eastern half. There was also a curious gap of 30 l longitude on the eastern half of the Sun with virtually no burst activity.
