The most interesting features of the 1986-87 apparition were as follows: 1) The STB was abnormal around most of its length. This was due to two whitened or 'faded' sections. On one side of the planet, they were separated by a dark streak dubbed the 'STB Remnant', believed to be adjacent to the (invisible) oval FA. On the other side of the planet, the STB Fades were separated by a complex structure including ovals BC and DE, a second dark streak between them, and a dusky bridge in the STropZ. This bridge had probably emerged from the 'dislocation' at the Great Red Spot the previous year; it moved with the south temperate features, and high resolution photographs showed it to be a small red oval. 2) There was a new outbreak of white rifts in the SEB, coinciding with one of the hypothetical long-lived sources. 3) The northern EZ was largely shaded and disturbed, and the dark features on the NEB south edge went through a series of complex stages, sometimes splitting and sometimes being very large and dark. Some of these changes may have been due to the passage of bright 'rifts' in the NEB. 4) There were unusually large and dark features in the North Temperate regions, including dark streaks in the NTZ and dark masses in the NNTB/NNNTB.
