Observations of the nucleus of NGC5548 made at 11 different epochs during May - July 1990, in low resolution mode (1000 km/s) and through large apertures (10 by 20 inches) of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spectrographs, are discussed. The patterns of variability are considered. Figures showing the following are given: light curves of the continuum in the X-ray and UV bands, together with the light curves of the strongest emission lines; the 2 to 10 KeV X-ray flux as a function of the 1350 A continuum for the 11 epochs of simultaneous X-ray and UV observations; the cross correlation and discrete correlation of F 2 to 10 with F1350. Implications of the findings are discussed.
