The WC spectrum of the nucleus of the planetary nebula Henize 2-99. Fluxes are given, emission lines are identified, and blends are described. The most powerful emissions are C III, C II, and C IV. O, H, and Si lines are also observed, but little stellar nitrogen is found except for N V. The interstellar extinction is estimated at c = 0.9 + or - 0.2. Blackbody, Zanstra, and Stoy temperatures are found to be 70,000 K, 26,000 K, and 27,000 K, respectively. It is shown that He 2-99 is binebulous with a prominent enhancement in H-alpha along the minor axis. The structural characteristics of He 2-99 are very similar to BD +30 deg 3639 and NGC 40.
