Abstract
The mean latitude of prominence samples referring to one boundary of the polarity division line of the large-scale magnetic field is calculated on the basis of Hα charts in the period 1955–1982. It is shown that the magnetic field in that period had a latitude zonal structure. The boundaries of the latitude zones of the magnetic field had no regular equatorwards migration. They either oscillated near the mean boundaries at 0°, ±20°, ±40°, or migrated polewards.
