At present we know that the Wolf-Rayet stars do not form a homogeneous group of objects with similar masses, but that their masses span a considerable range. Whether or not there is a correlation between the masses and the different subtypes of WR stars, can only be answered by more observations of WR stars in binarysystems yielding estimates of the masses of their components.
