Results are presented for a qualitative analysis of spectra of the Be variable Omicron And obtained in the period from 1968 to 1976, radial-velocity determinations for the interval from 1967 to 1976, a survey of periods derived from UBV and JHK photometric measures, and a periodogram analysis. It is found that the Balmer-line absorption cores exhibited conspicuous variations, intensity variations occurred in metallic lines, a shell spectrum appeared in July 1975, and the intensities of the shell features were sometimes variable on a time scale of one day. The wide range of radial velocities measured from stellar and shell hydrogen and metallic lines seems to indicate temperature or electron-pressure changes in photospheric layers, oscillatory motions of a thin shell prior to the reappearance of the main shell, envelope ejection, and a possible correlation between brightness variations and mass motions. It is noted that no periodic behavior was revealed by analysis of radial velocity as a function of phase, but a period of 1.5845 days was obtained from this analysis.
