Abstract
The paper presents the results of an analysis of elemental abundances in th e atmosphere of eta Ser-a red giant of spectral type K2IIIabCN1, according to Hoffleit and Jaschek [4]. The resulting atmospheric parameters correspon d to a K0 giant, and the peculiarities of the star's chemical composition p rovide evidence that the assignment of eta Ser to the class of CN stars was erroneous.
