        EMISSIONS OBSERVED ON OBJECTIVE-PRISM SPECTROGRAMS

  In the course of inspection of old objective-prism plates, emission
features in several spectra - most probably related to late-type stars - were
discovered. Since some of them are rather unusual in appearance, we consider
it necessary to report our observations.
  The stars in question are listed below. For three of them the BD-numbers
are indicated; for the rest identification charts are given. The stars are
located in the direction of OB galactic associations.
  Kodak-plates were taken in October 1974 on the 70-cm meniscus telescope
of the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory (USSR) by means of an 8-deg objective
prism. The reciprocal dispersion at H-gamma is 166 A/mm; the spectra were
widened to 0.4 mm, their extent being from H-beta up to 3500 A. Well-exposed
spectrograms were obtained for stars from about 8 to 11 photographic stellar
magnitude.
  The author would be pleased to offer a more detailed information (including 
registrograms when possible) to anybody interested in these objects.
   List of the observed stars with description of their spectra:
  BD 62 0161. Peculiar spectrum with very strong bands of TiO;
       a number of strong emission lines present, incl.
       H-beta, H-gamma, H-delta, Ca I - very strong in absorption.
       Possibly a symbiotic star.
  BD 55 0109. The spectrum is rather weak; nevertheless, several emissions are
       clearly distinguished. The star is probably late-type.
  BD 63 0003. Very peculiar spectrum with very strong bands of TiO and many
       emission lines, incl. H-beta, H-gamma, H-delta.
       Probably a symbiotic star.
  No.1 id. chart (star A is BD 33 4186, star B is HD 201668).
       Late spectral type, probably Me. Emissions in H-gamma, H-delta.
  No.2 id. chart (star A is BD 56 2679, star B is HD209296).
       Strong emission lines, incl. H-beta, H-gamma, H-delta. Late-type variable.
  No.3 id. chart (star A is BD 55 2561, star B is HD 218997).
       Balmer series in emission; late-type variable, possibly a symbiotic star.
  No.4 id. chart (star A is BD 55 0089, star B is BD 59 0092).
       Strong bands of TiO. Long-period variable?
  No.5 and No.6 id. chart (star A is BD 61 0038, star B is BD 60 0025). M-spectra
       with strong bands of TiO and a number of emission lines. Probably long-
       period variables.
  No.7 id. chart (star A is BD 59 0138, star B is BD 59 0132).
       Similar to No.5 and 6.
