Scientific paper

We present new, high dispersion spectroscopy of the LMC N82 indicating a star with a very peculiar spectrum which does not resemble exactly to any so far seen. Hence, it cannot be forced into any known categories. The closest comparisons may be the three known Galactic peculiar Of and Of?p objects found by Walborn (1973). This star may be a transition object between Of supergiants and W-R stars.
