Scientific paper

Spectrophotometry of the leading emission-line features are presented for nearly all the WR stars in the Galaxy and in the LMC. These form the empirical basis of the normal relationships among the various lines. Emission lines have a wide range of strengths, but all lines in a given star are strong or weak together. The first extensive data set of the N IV 3480 A features in WR stars is presented. There are eight objects, mostly single stars, with inordinately strong C IV. Among WC stars, the persistence of the C III 4650 A feature to the earliest subtypes suggests the importance of the contribution of C IV 4658 A to the blend, or an anomalous triplet-singlet behavior in the C III ions similar to that observed in N IV in the WN sequence. The emission-line fluxes of He II 4686 A with the M(v) for the WN stars of the LMC are compared.
