Abstract

On the basis of spectroscopic CCD material obtained at the Haute Provence Observatory, we provide line identifications and equivalent width measurements in the wavelength region 4100 - 8900 Å  of the spectrum of MWC 297. About two hundred features are identified, almost exclusively emission lines. Only one interstellar feature could be identified (λ 6613) a fact which contrasts with the eigth magnitudes of extinction found by photometrists. The spectrum of the underlying star corresponds probably to a late O or early B-type object. The cooler emission lines correspond to a spectrum of a middle A-type star. Analogies with other stars observed in this series of papers are examined.
