In Liu and Danziger(1992b) we present Te derived from the Balmer discontinuities for 14 objects by long slit spectrophotometry. It is found that on the average the Te derived in this way are systematically lower than those derived the forbidden line ratios, indicating the presence of large temperature fluctuations(Peimbert 1967, 1971). The spectra obtained have been analyzed point-by-point along the slit for NGC 2392 and NGC 3242, for which t 2 = 0.13 and 0.058, respectively, as measured on the summed spectra integrated along the slits.
