In addition to certain manifestation of a stellar wind during steady states of WR-stars that we have heard here about I have two notes on their extremal stages of evolution which may be also connected to such a hydrodynamical event.

The first note. There is a pecular object, HM Sge that had brightened for several magnitudes during several months. It has a strong emission spectrum that is similar to a planetary nebula spectrum in general, and it was suggested that we register a planetary nebula birth. However, in Crimea we have found that a total width of H-alfa emission line is ~ 2000 Km/sec and a central part of its profile is asymmetric significantly. These features exclude a genetic, relationship between HM Sge and Planetary nebulae.
