Our new data of the Balmer line radial velocities in the P Cygni spectrum are compared to the measurments published by de Groot (1969), Kolka (1983) and Markova (1986). The observed variations are analysed in terms of a model proposed by Kolka (1983) which implies a multiple ejection of shells in the stellar wind of P Cygni. It is shown that all data agree to an ejection time scale of about 200 days. The estimated accelerations for the three data groups are very close which supposes a stability of the ejection mechanism over an interval of about 40 yr. The radial velocities of nalmer and the FeII and FeIII (far UV) lines are compared. The identity of the Balmer and the FeII and FeIII shells is discussed.
