Previous IUE studies found sharp, shortward-displaced absorption features in two DA white dwarfs (Bruhweiler and Kondo 1981, 1983) and in three O subdwarfs (Bruhweiler and Dean 1983) indicative of mass loss. Anomalous abundances and the presence of subordinate lines, especially in the case of the DA white dwarf, 2111+49, rules out an interstellar origin for these features. Continued analysis of new and archival data added one DA white dwarf and possibly two) subdwarfs to the growing list of subluminous stars displaying these features. One, possibly both, of these new O subdwarfs are of extreme low luminosity, intermediate between normal O subdwarfs and the the hot white dwarfs. These observations provide evidence that a single mechanism is responsible for the unusual features seen in O subdwarfs and DA white dwarfs.
