Within an ongoing program of long slit spectroscopy of the known WR nebulae, we show here some results for eight objects of the sample selected from the master list of Chu et al. (1983). We present an analysis of their ionisation structure and determine abundances of oxygen, nitrogen and helium in as many positions as possible. The implications of the abundance results for the chemical enrichment of the Interstellar Medium and stellar nucleosynthesis are briefly reviewed.
