Four spectra of the long-period Ap star HR 465 were taken in 1969-70 near its rare-earth minimum phase and analyzed. Equivalent widths or upper limits were obtained for lines of 23 elements. Lines of Cr were very strong. The Sc/Fe, Ti/Fe, V/Fe, and Ni/Fe abundance ratios were found to be abnormally low, while the Cr/Fe ratio was abnormally high (approximately 0.08). The equivalent widths in 1969-70 were compared with those measured by Aller on a spectrum taken in 1960 near the rare-earth maximum phase. Ionized lines of Sc, Ti, V, Fe, Nb, Mo, and the rare-earths all vary out of phase with the Cr I and Cr II lines. Although Mo and Cr occupy corresponding positions in the periodic table, the Mo/Cr abundance ratio was apparently at least 180 times higher in 1960 than in 1969-70.
