Spectra of the Seyfert galaxy nucleus NGC 4151 obtained in the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in 1988-1990 is described focusing on significant variations in continuum intensity and broad H-alpha line profile. It is noted that different parts of the profile vary in different ways. Smaller changes are located at far-away regions of the wings and at low positive velocities of the profile. Lower variations in the red part of the H-alpha profile near the center are interpreted by the delay effect in an expanded shell. Cross correlation analysis reveals shorter delay for the higher velocities of the H-alpha profile.
