Nearly simultaneous FUV and optical spectrophotometry of X-ray selected Seyfert galaxies has revealed an average Ly α/H β ratio of 22, a positive correlation between the ratio Ly α/H β and the width of the lines, and additional Ly α emission in the wings of one source which is not matched by emission in the Balmer line wings. However, we find no distinguishing features in the continuum emission from these X-ray selected objects compared with other samples. If the correlation between Ly α/H β and the width of the lines is found to apply to larger samples of Seyferts, it may be that our objects appear Ly α bright because they are also broad-lined compared with other samples.
