H-alpha and H-beta broad emission-line profiles of the Seyfert galaxy Arakelian 120 from the past 10 yr, representing over 100 spectroscopic observations. The broad emission-line profiles of the Balmer lines are complex in structure and variable; the profile variations themselves are complex. Separate emitting components within the profiles are isolated through profile differencing and profile fitting. If Gaussian-like, at least four separate components are present in the broad Balmer emission lines. The broad emission-line profiles of other emission lines (optical and UV) are also presented, and evidence is given for a stratified BLR. Using the results of Joly, it is demonstrated that the Fe II multiplets 25 and 36 (in addition to m42) may be present in the H-beta profile and in its 'red shelf'.
