A number of recent observations indicate that the star LSS 4300 (HDE 320156) is a high-temperature analog of the hydrogen-deficient binaries Upsilon Sgr and KS Per. A preliminary model-atmosphere analysis based on high dispersion spectra obtained at Kitt Peak and Cerro Tololo yields Teff = 14,400 K, log (g) = 1.4, n(H)/n(He) = 0.003, and n(N)/n(C) = 20 for the visible component. The optical emission-line spectrum of LSS 4300 is nearly identical to that of Upsilon Sgr, including strong, broad H-alpha, Fe II, and forbidden Ca II emission; and JHKL photometry obtained at Cerr Tololo reveals an infrared excess nearly identical to that of Upsilon Sgr. It is suggested that LSS 4300, like Upsilon Sgr and KS Per, is a close binary system consisting of a helium supergiant of about 1 solar mass, which is undergoing its second mass loss, and a less luminous secondary, which is accreting matter from the primary.
