Long duration IUE spectra were obtained to extend coverage of cool giants studied in the ultraviolet at high dispersion to M6. The chromospheric spectra of the three stars, which consist of a profusion of Fe II lines and a few lines of Mg II, Mg I, Al II, C II, C I, Cr II, and Fe I, are remarkably similar, both among themselves and with respect to stars of earlier spectral type. These lines present a picture of a warm chromosphere that is static in the average but may be far from uniform in density and ionization. The Mg II emission lines of 2 Cen show 2 unresolved absorption components, the shorter at the velocity of the local interstellar medium. The longer is blueshifted from the star by 12 to 18 km/sec and must be one of very few observed shell lines uncontaminated by interstellar absorption.
