In places on the solar surface where longitudinal magnetic fields are detectable using Leighton's photographic technique, spectroheliograms taken in the cores of many Fraunhofer lines show a bright photospheric network similar to, but with finer structure than, the familiar chromospheric network visible on Ca+ K232 spectroheliograms. This paper describes preliminary results of a study of the relation between the photospheric network and its associated magnetic fields.
