The planetary nebula NGC 40 has a WC8 central star. From analysis of IUE spectra of the star, Benvenuti, Perinotto and Willis (1981, IAU Symposium 99) obtain the remarkable abundance ratio C/He ~ 0.2 and probably no hydrogen. The question arises as to whether the nebular shell has abnormal abundances.
