Problems related to Wolf-Rayet stars were recently reviewed by Underhill (1968) and were discussed at length during the symposium held at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics in Boulder (Gebbie and Thomas, 1968). Therefore, I shall not review here the historical development of ideas, and I shall not give detailed references in those cases when all the information is available in the sources mentioned above. I shall discuss first those observational data that are most important for the understanding of the evolutionary status of these stars. Later I shall discuss the problem of the interior structure and the origin of WR stars. And finally theories of the driving force for the observed mass loss will be presented.
