The spectrophotometric observations obtained in the wavelength range 3400A to 8000A during 1974, 1972 minima of R CrB have been fitted with Mie scattering calculations assuming sperical graphite particles and various size distributions. Power law type distributions fit the observations fairly well, and indicate that there is decrease in mean particle size as the star comes out of minimum.
