An atlas of Copernicus UV scans is presented, and line identifications are tabulated, for the Wolf-Rayet stars Gamma-2 Vel (WC 8 + O7), HD 50896 (= EZ CMa; WN 5), and HD 92740 (WN 7). The atlas covers the wavelength ranges from 946.8 to 3182 A for Gamma-2 Vel, from 1012 to 1294 A for HD 50896, and from 1051 to 1243 A for HD 92740. The wavelengths include corrections for components of satellite velocity, earth velocity, and stellar heliocentric velocity; each spectral feature is classified as interstellar, photospheric, emission, UV-displaced P Cygni line absorption, or P Cygni line emission. UV-edge velocities of the P Cygni profiles are estimated, P Cygni profile types are discussed, and the results are compared with Copernicus scans of OB stars exhibiting UV P Cygni profiles. It is noted that: (1) the line-strength ratio of molecular hydrogen to atomic species appears to be substantially greater in the scans of the WN stars than in the Gamma-2 Vel scans; (2) some of the P Cygni profiles in Gamma-2 Vel differ significantly from the corresponding profiles in OB stars; and (3) there may be a slight inverse correlation between ejection velocities and excitation potentials in Gamma-2 Vel.
