Several hot subluminous stars were first recognized as such from low-resolution spectra obtained with the ultraviolet objective-prism survey from Skylab, Experiment S-019. About 9 percent of the sky was photographed, 3 percent with unwidened spectra. Two hot subdwarf stars have been reported previously, HDE 283048 (Laget et al. 1978) and the companion to HR 3080 (Parsons et al. 1976a). Papers on two other subdwarfs are in preparation. One previously unrecognized white dwarf star was found, HD 149499 B, and new observations (Wray, Parsons and Henize 1979) show it to be probably the hottest white dwarf known.
