X 10756 epsilon Cap. H beta shows a bright line on edge of gr. Dark H beta is very narrow and sharply defined, H gamma & H delta very sharp, while the Orion lines are wide. X 10757 upsilon Sag. H beta very faint and dark. 4387 broad, [[strikethrough]] 4 [[/strikethrough]] Two lines near of gr. lambda very sharp Line 4387 and 4922 look like H beta and H gamma ^[[of another star]] and match up as such but there is no line to correspond with H delta. A faint bright line is seen near position of Orion line 5013. Spectrum towards red of this bright line is less intense, so that this line seems to form a break somewhat like those in 3rd type stars.
