The hydrogen-deficient B stars (often known as extreme-helium stars: EHes) show weak or absent Balmer lines and the following properties (Heber 1986a): Teff ~ 12 − 25kK, log g ~ 2 − 3, log nH ~ −3 − −4, nHe ≈ 0.99, nC ~ 0.01. Their galactic positions and apparent magnitudes indicate that they are low-mass supergiants belonging to the Galactic bulge (Jeffery et al. 1987).
