Abstract:
    Spectroscopic observations, plasma diagnostics and chemical
    composition of 15 non-type I planetary nebulae (PNe) in the Large
    Magellanic Cloud (LMC) are reported. Abundances of He, O, N, S, and Ar
    are determined and compared with recently obtained data for nebulae
    both in the Magellanic Clouds and in the Galaxy.
