Sequences of Skylab X-ray images near central meridian passages of a large solar coronal hole are used here to examine hole boundary changes with a time resolution of 90 min. It is found that X-ray bright points play a key role in both the expansion and contraction of the coronal hole. The size scale of the boundary changes is about 20,000 km, and the time scale is 3 hr or less. A scenario is suggested in which a large-scale closed magnetic field interacts with a bright point to effect a change in the hole boundary.
