Spectroscopic and photometric observations of the weak-G-band star HD 91805 are examined together with intermediate-band photometry of several Bidelman-MacConnell objects. Curve-of-growth and spectrum-synthesis analyses of HD 91805 are performed to obtain insight into the products of mixing; the results are found to be very similar to those reported by Sneden and Peterson (1977) for HR 6766. Evidence based on the intermediate-band photometry is presented that the majority of the Bidelman-MacConnell weak-G-band stars are burning helium in their cores subsequent to the helium core flash. Possible causes of the weak-G-band anomaly are considered, and it is concluded that carbon depletion due to meridional circulation requires the least radical departure from now well-understood astrophysical processes.
