Abstract
This article is intended as a brief overview of chemical abundances in galaxies other than our own. Attention is concentrated on global properties of ellipticals and spirals, and the methods by which abundances are estimated. References are predominantly to work which has appeared since the review of Pagel and Edmunds (1981).
