Abstract:
   Lines with no linear polarization induced by Zeeman effect are unaffected 
   by instrumental polarization. We compile 86 such electric dipole lines with
   differing temperature and magnetic field sensitivities. In addition, we list
   420 spectral lines which produce negligible linear polarization. In most 
   cases, this second set can also be regarded as lines unaffected by 
   instrumental polarization.
