An overview of observations of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) during the interval March 28, 1979 through December 31, 1981 is presented. An introduction is first provided to the instrument used in the observations, the method of identifying CMEs, the concepts of CME structural classes, CME importance categories, and the distribution of mass ejections among these classes and categories. The properties of CMEs are given for all mass ejections regardless of their structural classes or importance categories, and then for each class and category. After a brief discussion of the instrument duty cycle, the occurrence rate is presented for all CMEs and for major CMEs, for fast CMEs only, and finally for equatorial CMEs only. The results are compared to those obtained previously.
