Results are presented for measurements of more than 190 UV spectrograms of 24 A2-B3 stars in Perseus, including 17 known members of the Alpha Per open cluster, which were obtained at wavelengths of 2200 to 3700 A from the Orion 2 space observatory. It is found that: (1) the UV continuum energy distribution (UV CED) of A0-B3 stars is essentially in good agreement with the Mihalas (1965) model atmospheres for the appropriate effective temperatures; (2) the UV CED of the B5 III-Ve star Psi Per deviates significantly from the theoretical curve shortward of 3000 A, possibly due to a circumstellar gas shell; (3) the UV CED of the B9 Ve star HD 21641 is not discrepant; (4) the UV CED of the helium-poor B8 III star HD 21699 corresponds to spectral type B5 III-V with an effective temperature of 15,700 K; and (5) the UV CED of the A2 star HD 21333 is in agreement with the Carbon-Gingerich (1969) model for an effective temperature of 9500 K with allowance for absorption-line blocking.
