Covino, E. ; Terranegra, L. ; Vittone, A. A. ; Russo, G. Abstract Spectroscopic and photometric (UBV) observations of Z CMa were carried out at ESO, La Silla during February 1983. Photometric variations of the order of a few tenths of magnitude were detected in contrast with its past more variable behavior. The spectrum of Z CMa appears to have a complex structure showing at the same time characteristics of both early (B5 - B8) and late (middle F) spectral types. A rather peculiar and variable profile with three different absorption components was observed at the Hβ line. From a comparison between the present and the past behaviour it seems that the star is now in a relatively quiescent phase.
