The results of the emission line study of the optical spectrum of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 3227 nucleus are presented. 53 spectra obtained during the maximum nucleus brightness on 12-15 January 1977 with the 6 m telescope were the basis of the investigations. It was shown that the profiles of the hydrogen lines broadened during 3 days. The amounts of broadening at the 0.5 intensity level of the H, H and H line profile peaks were 12, 35 and 44%, respectively. The H line profile broadening was accompanied by a decrease in its equivalent width EW. The increase in the eqiuvalent width EW[O III] of the [O III] line during 3 days was more than 3. It was assumed that a 3 day flare is observed in the galaxy nucleus, which could be caused by shock in long-lived flows from the galaxy nucleus.
