The intensities of the very strong lines of C IV λ 1549 Å and Si IV λλ 1394, 1403 Å observed in spectra obtained with Skylab experiment S019 provide a sensitive discrimination of spectral type between B0 and B2. Eye estimates of the Si IV/C IV ratio are tabulated for 33 B0-B2, class III-V stars of which 11 are emission-line stars. Seven of the emission-line stars show significantly smaller ratios than normal stars of the same MK class. The most outstanding examples are 60 Cyg, o Pup, η Cen, and Ara.
