CCD observations of diagnostic features in the optical spectra of eight southern Lambda Boo stars and one normal A star are presented. The general weakness of MgII 4481A is confirmed, yet a wide range in strength and magnesium abundance exists. Narrow interstellar or circumstellar absorption components of NaI 5890 + 5896A are detected in three stars; in HR 4881 they exceed in strength those of the shell star Beta Pictoris and are probably of circumstellar origin. HR 4881 also exhibits a conspicuous absorption feature in CaII 3933A, resembling Beta Pic in appearance.
