Chromospheric lines of, and interstellar lines toward, the spectroscopic binary Lambda And (primary component G7-G8 III-IV) have been observed in the ultraviolet with the spectrometer and telescope on board the Copernicus satellite. An extensive, high-resolution spectroscopic study of the Ca II H and K profiles has also been undertaken. Some of these optical spectra were obtained simultaneously with the ultraviolet data. The ultraviolet emission lines of Lamba And are compared to the sun and to stars of similar spectral type. The star Lamba And resembles the active sun in surface brightness of chromospheric emissions and in appearance of the Mg II and Ca II profiles. The largest variations in the integrated calcium emission cores amount to an 80% increase in the K core and a corresponding 40% increase in the H core between observations two years apart. Variations in the cores may show a dependence on spectroscopic phase, and may be contributed to by circumstellar matter in the binary system. Previously unreported, transient emission features have also been observed, at a velocity of -70 km/s with respect to the Ca II emission cores.
