- High quality spectra are presented for the Seyfert 1 galaxies NGC 5548 and NGC 3783. Halpha and Hbeta were observed at different epochs, with time intervals between 4 and 13 months. The spectra have been scaled to each other by normalizing the flux of the narrow lines. The difference spectra show that the broad emission lines have varied not only in flux, but also in shape. The authors compare their data with those published by Peterson (1987) and Peterson et al. (1987) and conclude that the supermassive binary scenario proposed by the latter is not unique. The observed variations can be interpreted in an accretion disk scenario. The whole data-set also provides evidence against models based on outflowing motion. The He II lambda4686 line discussed together with N III lambda4640 Bowen emission. A limit to the results is given by the long time intervals separating the observations, which do not allow the authors to set as strong constraints on the BLR as high quality, frequent monitoring of Seyfert 1 spectra would
