Up to the present the chief results of investigations of stellar line spectra in the extreme ultraviolet have been limited to two fairly distinct fields. In the case of the Sun the data have referred mainly to the chromosphere and also to the region of the temperature minimum at the top of the photosphere and to the corona. We may hope that observations will eventually be extended to the chromospheric ultraviolet spectra of other stars. In the case of the early type stars the most spectacular results so far obtained have concerned the evidence for mass loss by several of these stars. I have therefore chosen to spend most of the available time discussing some of the ways of studying from the ground, first the chromospheres of stars other than the Sun and secondly mass loss from stars.
