I would like to make a few comments on the problem of the determination of the temperatures of nuclei of planetary nebulae.

It can be shown that in a high-excitation planetary nebula two independent Strömgren zones of heavy elements can be found. The first is a He III zone; the second corresponds to a zone of the luminescence of Ne V forbidden lines and originates due to combined absorption by the heavy ions Ne IV, O V and N V. If so, a relatively independent method of the determination of the color temperature of nuclei can be suggested.
