Abstract
Thiessen1, v. Klüber2, and Kiepenheuer3 have recently achieved a very high accuracy in measuring the Zeeman effect of the Fraunhofer lines. Their results agree that, outside sunspots and other disturbed regions, the Zeeman effect is very small, corresponding to a few gauss or less. From this it is usually concluded that the sun's general magnetic field is less than a few gauss. This conclusion would be legitimate only if there were no turbulence in the photosphere.
