The star β C Ma was observed during two nights in January 1962. The instrument used was the grating spectrograph attached to the 152 cm (60 inch) telescope of the Bosque Alegre branch of the Córdoba Observatory which gives a dispersion of 42 Å/mm. This work will appear in full in the Boletín del Instituto de Matemática, Astronomía y Física, Vol. II, n 2.
