Spectroscopic observations, obtained with resolution R = 50,000 using a coude echelle spectrograph with an 1872-pixel reticon on the 1.4-m Coude Auxiliary Telescope at ESO on eight nights in January-March 1985, are reported for 17 bright southern Be stars. Emission-line profiles are measured for the Fe II lines at 6384, 5317/5198, 5169, and 4584 A; the Si II line at 6371 A; and (for three stars) the He I lines at 5876 and 6678 A. The results are presented in extensive tables and graphs and characterized in detail. Symmetrical doubly peaked class 1 profiles with widths correlated to the projected rotational velocity are found in 13 stars, with no evidence of a two-component structure; the Fe II emission is attributed to the primary dense innermost disk component of the H-alpha-emitting envelope. The weak-line profiles of the other four objects are shown to be class 2 (asymmetric and single-peaked) like their H-alpha profiles.
