No evidence for a rotating disk is found along any position angle in the central portion of the nebula, in the present deep, long-slit spectrograms of medium spectral and spatial resolution for the emission line gas in the central cD galaxy of A 1785. Both the spatial variations of the emission-line profiles and the corresponding kinematics along the various position angles clearly indicate an emission-line nebular composition of kinematically separated gas clumps; these can be seen in projection along the line-of sight. The intensities of the forbidden lines, relative to the Balmer lines, are higher in the central nebula and the bright northern knot than in the southern filament.
