Slettebak, Arne Abstract Rotational velocities and spectral types were estimated for 56 emission-line stars of later B type. Of these, 42 B6-B9e stars are discussed statistically and show a frequency distribution which is consistent with the assumption that all the stars are rotating with an equatorial velocity near 350 km/sec but have their rotation axes randomly distributed in space. The largest observed rotational velocities for stars of spectral types 09.5 to FO are compared with computed equatorial breakup velocities for stars of corresponding spectral types. The region of minimum difference between the observed and computed velocities is approximately that occupied by the Be stars.
