Rotation period for a subsurface source in the NNTeB of Jupiter

During two consecutive apparitions of Jupiter, 1968-69 and 1969-70, 12 and 9 spots were observed in the North North Temperature Current B (latitude about 35 N). Drift curves were extended on the basis of LPL Jupiter photographs. It is shown that the two source areas for these groups of spots are probably the same, and define a rotation period of the common subsurface source very close to that of System 3.
