Recent ultraviolet and X-ray observations suggest that the Fe/O ratio
in the NLR gas in NGC 1068 is abnormally high. The X-ray analysis; whi
ch is presented elsewhere, suggests a large Fe/H and the data shown an
d discussed here, in particular the extremely weak O III] lambda 1663
line, argue for small O/N and O/C. Models to support this claim are sh
own and discussed. They include improved reddening estimates, dusty an
d dust-free calculations, and abnormal abundances. The anomalous compo
sition makes NGC 1068 unique among Seyfert galaxies and an unusual lab
oratory for investigating metal enrichment and depletion.
