Description
Position data of sunspot groups from the period 1874-1902 are used to
investigate the differential rotation of the Sun and the meridional
motions of the sunspots. The equatorial velocity is higher than in the
period 1940-1968 investigated by Balthasar and Wöhl (1980), while
differences between the northern and southern hemispheres are
less. For cycle 12 we find meridional motions towards north while in
cycle 13 the motions are directed towards south like in the period
1940-1968. Our other results are comparable to those of Balthasar and
Wöhl (1980) for the period 1940-1968.
