AN outstanding feature of the May 13, 1971, occultation of Beta Scorpii AB and C by Jupiter was the occurrence of numerous light flashes, or ``spikes''. In a discussion of our observations1 we noted that at a time resolution δt~1 s, the pattern of some of the spikes observed during the emersion of β Sco AB seemed vaguely time-symmetric with that seen during immersion. But other portions of the occultation curves seemed to be largely uncorrelated at this δt. Fairall2 has since published the results of photographic observations of the bright star event. He suggests that the spikes are on the whole significantly time-symmetric, and infers from this a global stratification of the Jovian atmosphere. We have tested this suggestion on our data, which are more extensive and have an improved δt and photometric accuracy.
