Observed equivalent widths for N II lines in the spectra of approximately 30 B-type stars have been analyzed using non-LTE model atmosphere calculations. The multiplets considered are numbers 3, 4, 5, 12, 15, and 55, and the observational data are principally from high dispersion echelle spectrograms. A zero microturbulence is found to be appropriate, and a nitrogen to hydrogen abundance of 7.9 plus or minus 0.1 dex is deduced in excellent agreement with the current solar value.
