Abstract
According to latest results presented at this workshop, it appears that thesurface chemistry of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB stars can now be explained byevolutionary calculations involving a late He-shell flash. A quantitativecomparison of theoretical predictions with observed element abundances caneventually constrain details of this evolutionary scenario. I will emphasizehere the diverse chemical compositions observed in H-deficient post-AGB stars,which call for an explanation. The abundance patterns vary from almost purehelium atmospheres to hydrogen- and helium-free atmospheres, with a richchoice of compositions in between, involving rather different mixtures of H,He, and CNO.
