Abstract:
    Observations of five D-type symbiotics are presented: three oxygen
    Mira (He2-38, H2-38 and H1-36) and two carbon Mira symbiotics (AS 210
    and SS 38). The observations in the spectral range between 3200{AA}
    and 7400{AA} show the presence of several emission lines in various
    states of excitation. A line list is provided with their suggested
    identifications. Several parameters were derived for each object:
    interstellar reddening as determined from Balmer decrement and He II
    lines, temperature and electronic density, abundance ratios of Ne/O,
    Ar/O, Fe/Ne, N/O and He/H. We found nitrogen enrichment while for the
    other elements their abundances are compatible with solar, except iron
    which is depleted. We did not detect significant changes in the line
    and in the continuos spectra of the stars analyzed here, except for
    He2-38, which increased its degree of excitation compared to Allen's
    (1984PASAu...5..562N) catalogue.
