VLA observations at 1465 MHz of the Stephan's Quintet region reveal that the arc-shaped area of emission discussed by Allen and Hartsuiker (1972) breaks up into several components. The idea that NGC 7318b is a recent interloper in the group and that the interaction resulting from this event causes the enhanced activity at the east side of NGC 7318b is adopted as still the most reasonable explanation. The results are discussed in more detail in another paper (van der Hulst and Rots, 1981).
