An ultraviolet spectrum of NGC 7027 was obtained with a rocket-borne telescope. The observed fluxes are given on an absolute basis and upper limits are given for the strongest predicted lines which were not observed. The extinction correction was made on the basis of the observed and calculated line ratios for the hydrogenic recombination line of He 2 at 1640A to H beta. The extinction is in agreement with ground based determinations. When corrected for extinction the C 4 resonance line at 1549A is in good agreement with the intensity calculated from models, but the C 3 intercombination line at 1909A is a factor of ten too bright. The addition of dielectronic recombination to the models sufficiently changes the C 3 concentration to reduce the discrepancy to a factor of four. The abundance of carbon is assumed to be 2 x 0.0001 that of hydrogen. Using carbon abundances for the sun, this discrepancy disappears and there must be attenuation in the C 4 line. Since the optical depth is approximately 10,000 at the line center, no appreciable number of absorbing grains can exist in the C 4 producing region of the nebula.
