Three stages of the drift-velocity variation of three white spots observed in the Jupiter STB with the 30-cm Zeiss refractor at Volgograd during 1964-1986 are described. The main observed tendency is the deceleration of the drift. Periodic irregularities in the motion were observed which differ for each white spot. The longitudinal distribution of the motion peculiarities exhibits a main maximum to the east of the Red Spot as well as some secondary maxima. The time variations of these peculiarities are correlated with the relative dimensions of the Red Spot and with solar activity (i.e., the appearance of recurrent sunspot groups).
