A coudé spectrogram of a red giant (IV-202) in M 67 has been analyzed with respect to Arcturus by the differential curve-of-growth method. The overall metal abundance is found to be approximately twice that in Arcturus, i.e. half the solar value. The error limits exclude the interpretation that IV-202 is ‘super-metal-rich’. According to other observational evidence, IV-202 is quite typical of the red giants in M 67.
