Image tube spectra of emission regions in M31 have been studied to determine relative line strengths and abundances. Lines of H, He, [NII], [SII], [Oi], [Oii], [Oiii] are observed. The analysis indicates: (1) that there are ions whose line strengths, relative to Hα, are a function of the position of the emission region in M31; (2) abundance differences or different excitation mechanisms exist in regions separated by only a few hundred parsecs.
