The chemical abundances of the + stars can give us excellent information for setting constraints on models of - and -process nucleosynthesis. In this article, we fit the element abundances of 32 + or -rich stars by using a parametric model. We find that the -process abundance pattern related to + stars is similar to the pattern of -rich stars. On the other hand, the abundance pattern of light elements and iron group elements for the + stars is very close to the pattern for weak -process stars. The + stars and -rich stars are initially formed in the molecular cloud, which had been polluted by weak -process material. The yields of -process related to + stars are proportional to their metallicity. Although the origin and site of the -process are quite different from those of the -process, there is a strong correlation between the enhancement level of the -process and -process in + stars. This implies that -process matter accreted from the origin of the -process, such as AIC or SN 1.5, has an increasing trend with increasing -process matter accreted from the AGB stars.
