Burrell (1976) performed an abundance analysis of the southern R CrB star UW Cen and reported a metal deficiency by a factor of 660 compared to the sun. However, his analysis was made employing very uncertain gf values, which resulted in lower estimates for Texc and Tion etc. We have reanalysed his data using new values and model atmospheres calculated by Schönberner (1975). Our analysis shows that the star has nearly solar abundance.
