Spectroscopic observations toward 1300 + 361 B obtained at 320-940 nm using a double spectrograph with CCD detectors on the 5-m Hale telescope (resolution about 7 A at 470-940 nm and 10-12 A at 320-470 nm on April 4-5, 1984, are reported. Two objects with magnitude 20 and spectral characteristics resembling those of an interacting pair of metal-poor H II regions at redshift 0.107 are observed, separated by about 10.6 arcsec and with a velocity difference of less than 80 km/s. It is considered unlikely that these objects form a gravitational-lens system. The ratio of the dereddened flux of the 5007-A forbidden line of O III to that of H-beta is found to be 5.03 for 1300 + 361 A and 3.67 for 1300 + 361 B; the difference is attributed to the presence of star-forming regions in the interacting system.
