The ferromagnetic domain patterns observed by anomalous transmission of X‐rays in Fe–3% Si crystals grown by secondary recrystallization are shown to depend on the choice of reflecting plane. The {110} reflection shows straight lines in the 〈100〉 directions which are sometimes resolved as zig‐zag lines. The {200} reflections show surface closure domains which are the same as those seen in Bitter patterns; zig‐zag boundaries and several other features are also seen. The importance of strain effects in determining the domain pattern is discussed.
