Soft X-ray observations by SMM and other spacecraft have shown that the abundance of certain elements in solar corona varies from flare to flare. In this study, observations made by the Yohkoh Bragg Crystal Spectrometer (BCS) in helium-like Ca XIX have been analysed, and Ca abundance determined for 177 flares observed during the first four years of the mission (1991-1995). The average abundance of Ca relative to H for all flares is < A_Ca > = (3.64 +/- 0.39) x 10^-6. As with an earlier study of SMM data, the abundance is found to be enhanced compared to the photosphere ((2.24 +/- 0.10) x 10^-6), and with only minor variation from flare to flare. However, the absolute value and range of values determined by this study is smaller than in the previous study; these differences are discussed.
