It is found that the forbidden 4959-5007 A broad O III lines, good candidates for the excess shelf emission, are found in the vicinity of H-beta in Seyfert 1 galaxy spectra. The shelf-study method used to remove Fe II assumes that the profiles of the contributors to the shelf are known, and that subtraction of these contributors in the correct amount will result in a fairly smooth H-beta profile. Data were obtained with the Ohio State University Image-Dissector Scanner with a 600 line/mm grating, on a 1.8-m reflector. The estimated cloud electron density of 1 billion/sq cm is at the low end of those used for BLR photoionization models. The presence of a broad residual emission feature in the neighborhood of 5050 A after subtraction of the shelf is thought to be the result of a weak broad emission in this range from yet another species.
