Abstract
We report further observations of Sgr A (West) which confirm the presence of the neon fine structure line at 12·8 μ, and firmly establish the source as a thermal H II region of low excitation with a near normal abundance of at least this one heavy element. There is no indication of a northerly extension to the emission, as suggested by radio synthesis maps.Keywords
