Relative C and N ion abundances in high-excitation planetary nebulae are determined from theoretical recombination spectra of the C III, N III, C IV, and N IV ions. It is found that such nebulae are overabundant in carbon, and the relative C IV abundance increases with electron temperature. The present results agree with stellar evolution theories which predict that at some gradually expanding gaseous envelope with an enhanced C, N, and O abundance will form.
