Scientific paper

Two plausible values for the rotation period of Neptune have been deduced from photometric light curves at 1.25 and 2.2 microns. They are 0.7572 + or - 0.002 and 0.8160 + or - 0.002 day; additional photometric data will be required to ascertain which period is correct. Evidence is presented for changes in the atmosphere of Neptune with a time scale of several days.
