Observations of the neutral helium dayglow at 584 A have been performed with broad-band devices that might be sensitive to other emissions. This note examines the possible contamination of such data by emissions from the 2s2p(4) 2P state of singly ionized oxygen. The O II dayglow is estimated for nearly optimum conditions, and it is shown that O II emissions at 537 and 581 A are quite sizeable in comparison with reported 584-A fluxes for heights of 100 to 400 km. The use of a rare-gas absorption-cell photometer is suggested as a means of eliminating possible errors in helium dayglow measurements.
