Despite there appearing to be two distinct groups here, only one sunspot number was given to the whole group. This was probably because both were present when they appeared round the western limb on 22nd August. The smaller, distict, spot disappeared by the 29th to be replaced a few days latter by a new group that was given the designation 10906 but promptly disappeared round the eastern limb.
