Abstract

In this thesis results are presented from a study of intermediate dispersion spectra, and six-colour narrow hand photometry of Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars in the southern Milky Way and in the Magellanic Clouds. Until very recently photometric data on WR stars have been appallingly lacking. Westerlund and Smith (196*0 have obtained photographic B,V, R colours for most of the WR stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (IMC), and Feast, Thackeray, and Wesselink (i960) have obtained U, B,V colours for a few. However, in the Galaxy, U,B,V colours have been obtained for only about one-third of the known WR stars (Demers and Femie, 1964; Feinstein, 1964; Hiltner, Schild and Jackson, 1964; Hiltner and Iriarte, 1955; Hiltner, 1956; Cousins and Stoy, 196 3).
