Ultraviolet emission of the symbiotic star AG Peg which shows periodic variations in the central radial velocity and total flux of several emission lines was studied. Seventeen high dispersion archival SWP spectra covering the period from 1978.6 to 1986.9 were examined. Gaussian profiles were fit to each of the narrow emission lines of O III, N III, O IV, Si IV, C III, and Si III. Radial velocity curves with an amplitude of 15 to 20 km/sec were measured for the N III 1748.6 A, 1749.7 A lines, the O III 1660.8 A, 1666.2 A lines, and the C III 1908.7 A line. The O IV and Si IV lines were generally too weakly exposed to derive reliable velocity curves, while the Si III line was often overexposed. The N III, O III, and C III line fluxes are correlated with phase. These line flux and velocity changes are consistent with formation of the lines near the red giant.
