Energy distributions from 0.32 to 1.06 μ for field Be stars having p designations in their spectral types show that stars with Balmer discontinuities in emission do exist. Furthermore, the filling in of the Balmer continuum near the discontinuity is usually observed. The continuum emission showing a peak near 1 μ is a common feature in the energy distributions presented here.
Energy distributions for a number of bright field Be stars are also presented and discussed.
