A technique for analyzing measurements of XUV spectral-line intensities is described. Application of the technique to OSO-4 and OSO-6 spectra indicates that the mean coronal temperature is 2.1 million K in typical active solar regions and that the mean coronal temperature in typical quiet regions ranges from 1.5 to 2.1 million K. One active-region spectrum shows evidence for substantial quantities of coronal material with temperatures between 2 and 3.5 million K. Measurements from limb spectra show evidence that (1) coronal abundances of N and O are low relative to heavier elements; or (2) that the ionization-equilibrium calculations used may contain systematic errors; or (3) that the XUV intensity measurements may be incorrectly calibrated.
