Abstract
At present we know that the Wolf-Rayet stars do not form a homogeneous group of objects with similar masses,but that their masses span a considerable range.Whether or not there is a correlation between the masses and the different subtypes of WR stars,can only be answered by more observations of WR stars in binarysystems yielding estimates of the masses of their components.
