Table 1: Observed outbursts of WX Cet. Epoch of maximum (HJD-2 400 000), $V_{\rm max}$, number of observations, decline gradient (mag d-1), class, relevant time intervals, and references (R1 refers to visual and photographic estimates, R2 to phase-resolved photometry). The event of HJD 2431642 was probably observed at a late outburst state.
