To investigate further the Venus inverse phase effect, 12 plates of the 8689 A CO2 band, taken in 1971, were analyzed for abundances and temperatures using the curve-of-growth method. An average rotational temperature of 230 + or - 1 K was found for an average slope of the curve of growth of 0.56 + or - 0.03. Day-to-day variations in the equivalent widths of the CO2 lines can be as large as 25%, and long-term changes in the cloud-top temperature are confirmed. On the other hand, the widely accepted 'inverse' phase effect of CO2 line equivalent widths near superior conjunction receives no firm support from these results.
