The modem theory of stellar evolution leads to several possible scenaria for the formation of many types of hydrogen deficient (usually helium rich) stars. Some of these scenaria are briefly discussed in this paper to provide possible explanations for origins of R Cr B, hot helium and Wolf-Rayet stars; hot sub dwarfs, non-DA degenerate dwarfs and helium stars in binaries like KS Per. The merger of two degenerate stars in close binaries due to the radiation of gravitational waves can lead to several types of helium and carbon rich stars as well as to supernova explosions.
