I have studied the observed concentrations of vertical velocity and vertical magnetic field in the corners of the coarse network. Using a horizontal velocity inferred from the vertical velocity, I have computed the possible rate of concentration of the field. The rate turns out to be much higher than observed. I conclude that the observed motions in supergranules are not concentrating the observed field at the corners of the network. I have suggested four possible alternate situations consistent with the observations.
