During 1963–67 observations of the magnetic fields in sunspots have been obtained at the Oslo Solar Observatory. For the largest spots the detailed distribution of the magnetic-field strength is found. Based on calculations of line profiles made by the author (Kjeldseth Moe, 1967) also the direction of the magnetic field is derived. Observations of the magnetic field of the same spot at several positions on the solar disk give further information regarding the magnetic-field configuration. Our results are in fair agreement with those of Bumba (1962).
