Recent observational material on the Balmer emission lines of the Herbig Be star HD 200775 is reviewed. Rectifying the interchange of the H-alpha profiles observed by Garrison and Anderson (1977) in HD 200775 and BD + 61 deg 154, no time variations are found of the profile shape or the strength of H-alpha. The profiles of H-alpha, H-beta, H-gamma, and H-delta are symmetrical with central absorption dips in H-alpha and H-beta. Numerical calculations of the level populations of hydrogen have been done to explain the observed line ratios H-alpha/H-beta, H-gamma/H-beta, and H-delta/H-beta. It is concluded that the Balmer emission lines are produced in a compact (characteristic size, 1000 solar radii) and fairly dense (10 to the 9th per cu cm) envelope.
