J. Abstract Narrow-band photometry was carried out on Comet Kohoutek over a moderately wide range of heliocentric distances (0.66-1.77 AU). Production rates for C2 and CN seem to vary. C3 abundance is comparable to that for CN and C2. The comet was very dusty at large preperihelion distances and, for comparable heliocentric distances, was less dusty after perihelion than before. There was a major outburst of both dust and molecules on 1 and 2 December. The nuclear radius is of order 1 km.
