As John Hutchings summarized at the opening of this symposium the most easily detected symptom of mass loss in hot stars is emission at Hα. Some years ago I made a survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud for stars with Hα in emission (Bohannan and Epps 1974) and since then have obtained low resolution spectra of some of these stars to establish their spectral identity. I would like to talk today of one of these objects, BE 381, which displays spectroscopic features of both the extreme Of and low excitation WN Wolf-Rayet classifications.
