The relationship of radio bursts of spectral type III to solar flares is investigated by comparing simultaneous optical and radio observations. Over 300 flares are examined, 85 per cent. of which are microflares (class 1?). About 20 per cent. of the flares are associated with type III events, while more than 60 per cent. of the bursts recorded occur during the lifetime of a flare. These bursts tend to occur near the beginning of the flare or even to precede it slightly.
