Spectrograms of very high quality have been obtained of Vega and Sirius with the Mount Wilson 100-inch (2.5-m) telescope and coudé spectrograph. Examples of these plates, showing the Be II region in the ultraviolet, are exhibited. The reciprocal dispersion is 0.83 Å/mm (83 nm/m) and the FWHM is about 19 mÅ (1.9 pm). The spectrograms have a trailed width of 3 mm and are on IIa or IIIa emulsions.
