Smits has recently calculated theoretical HeI intensities for a large number of lines for conditions appropriate to gaseous nebulae. These are likely to remain the definitive calculations for some time to come. A comparison of these line ratios with observed values in three nebulae reveals some discrepancies. We show that these discrepancies are reduced when collisional effects from the metastable 2^3S level are included, and that it is not necessary to invoke an unknown depopulation mechanism for the HeI 2^3S level.
