All phases of the 81 minute orbit of the magnetic X-ray binary 2A 0311-227 are covered in a series of single-trailed spectrograms of duration 25 minutes each, and resolution 2 A. Superposition of the data shows that an extremely complex line-structure and variation exist, which are phase-locked with the orbit. Previous measures by the authors are confirmed. An improved value for the orbital period is derived by comparing observations separated by 9 months. The appearance and velocities of the lines are shown. At present, no quantitative models exist to describe the complex gas streaming. Some evidence is given that at least two regions (poles), separated by less than 180 deg, of different temperature, are present.
