Abstract

From spectroscopic observations of the emission lines Hβ, λ4959 and λ5007[Oiii], Hα, λ6584[Nii], λ6717 and λ6731[Sii] and some interferometric data in Hα and [Nii] it was established that NGC 6164 and NGC 6165 have characteristics of normal Hii regions for Ne and Te. They are embedded in a very tenuous medium nearly coincident with the Strömgren sphere of the central star HD 148937, corresponding to the outer peripheral structure described by Westerlund. Variations of the relative abundances of N, O, and S are discussed.
