X 8066 [[subscript]] 2 [[/subscript]] delta Phoen.
  H gamma < 4326.
The spectrum is like alpha Bootis. The bright bands do not stand out as in delta Sag. and the light [[strikethrough]] lines [[/strikethrough]] shows no fading out towards K of any amount.

X 3896 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] delta Phoen.
H gamma = 4326.

X 5949 1 [[superscript]] 4 [[/superscript]] delta Phoen.

H gamma is a little fainter than 4326. This is one of those stars which is apparently intermediate between beta Corvi and alpha Bootis. On two-prism plates, H gamma seems distinctly fainter. H gamma is not seen separate from 4337.6 on the two-prism plates of delta Phoenicis; but H gamma & 4337.6 together, as they probably are, since the two lines seem somewhat less intense than [[strikethrough]] H [[/strikethrough]] 4326.
In one prism plates the spectrum is a good deal like beta Corvi.

X 8086 3 [[superscript]] 5 [[/superscript]] alpha Eridani
  Compared with 8089 alpha Pavonis. In alpha Pavonis, the lines are sharp. In alpha Eridani, they are very wide.

4128 {
4131 { Seen clearly separate in alpha Pav.

Not seen separated in alpha Eridani. They here appear very wide and almost equal to 4120. The ^ [[same]] lines appear to be present in both stars and to have about the same relative intensities, but the great difference in the sharpness of the lines makes the two stars look entirely different.
