In the wavelength range 350to 650 nm, the flux distribution of comet West (1975n) is presented for various dates following perihelion passage. The variations with heliocentric distances, in the flux of the emission features of the CN band at 388 nm, the C₂ bands at 474 nm, 516nm and 563 nm and NA at 589 nm, have been discussed. It is concluded that the comet was dust rich.
