Scientific paper

Echellograms with 4.6 A per mm dispersion have been obtained for four ring nebulae around Wolf-Rayet stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC): DEM 39, 231, 240, and 315. Their nature is analyzed and reported here. DEM 39 and DEM 315 are stellar wind blown bubbles, DEM 231 is probably an expanding hemisphere formed by the central star not necessarily during its W-R phase, and DEM 240 may have resulted from the interaction of stellar wind with a sheet of moving gas. A comparison of the bubbles blown by W-R stars in the Galaxy and the LMC is also made.
