B[e] stars VIII. MWC 342

On the basis of spectroscopic CCD material obtained at the Haute Provence O bservatory, we provide line identifications and equivalent width measuremen ts in the wavelength region 4095 - 8935 Angstrom of the spectrum of MWC 342 . Two hundred eighty emission features are identified and eighteen absorpti on features. Nine interstellar bands could be identified. Some of the remai ning absorption lines correspond to a B0 type star. The cooler emission lin es correspond to a spectrum of an early A-type star. The temperatures deriv ed from both spectral types (29 000 and 9 000 K) are in excellent agreement with the temperatures derived by photometrists.
