Confrontations of the dredge-up theory with observed patterns of chemical abundances of planetary nebulae (PNs) have been carried out by many authors (see, e.g., Kaler & Jacoby 1990, 1991; Stasińska & Tylenda 1990). Although these studies suggest that the observational abundance ratios of PNs can qualitatively be explained by the current dredge-up theory, scatters around the theoretical predictions in their diagrams are always large. This has led Ratag (1991) to conclude that there is no correlation at all between the nebular abundances and the core mass of CSPNs (see also Pottasch 1993).
