The concept of a sequence of large sunspot groups is defined. From distribution functions of large groups from the period of sequences and that outside sequences it has been found that there are relatively more groups with a smaller maximum area in the period of sequences than in the period outside sequences. With an increased frequency of the occurrence of large sunspot groups on the solar disc their size decreases.
