The Julian Dates of the observed eruptions of LMCRN 1968-12a plotted as a function of the expected outburst number. The best-fitting slope gives the mean recurrence period: 〈P_rec〉 = 2098.42 ± 66.45 days, or 5.75  ±  0.18 yr. Expected outbursts Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 6 that most likely occurred near 1974, 1980, 1985, and 1996 were apparently missed.
