Description:
    We analyse spectroscopic CCD material obtained at the Haute Provence
    Observatory. We provide line identifications and equivalent width
    measurements in the wavelength region 3700-8790A. Over 300 emission
    features are identified and a comparison of our results with those of
    other authors is provided, as well as a table of all elements which
    have been identified in the spectrum of the object. The pattern of
    elements present is analogous to that of B-type stars, but some
    exceptions are noted, such as the absence of C, Al and Mn. We review
    the present knowledge of the spectrum variability of MWC 349A. The
    observations indicate th at the equivalent widths of the lines of many
    elements vary by factors of up to two. We also provide a list of
    diffuse interstellar features observed. The latter lead to an average
    (B-V) excess of about two magnitudes, which is less than what is
    expected for an object having an interstellar extinction of 10-11
    magnitudes.
