The blue compact H ii galaxy CTS 1026 shows very strong WR emission features (Wλ(4680) = 17 Å and Wλ(5800) = 10 Å). We present high s/n optical spectra of the nucleus of this object, augmented by IUE UV spectra. By analysis of the WR profile shapes, we determine the dominant spectral types and the number of WN and WC stars in the star forming region. The number of O-type stars is determined by comparing the observed UV to optical flux distribution to population synthesis models.
