Observations of PHL 957 have been made with the Steward Observatory echelette spectrograph and with the Lick Observatory image-tube scanner. The stronger emission lines are found to have markedly different profiles, making emission redshift determinations rather inaccurate. No He II lambda1640 emission was detected. Wavelengths and approximate strengths of 203 absorption features are given, and two redshift systems (z/sub A/=2.3088, z/sub K/=1.7969) are shown to have a low probability of chance occurrence. Most of the lines observed shortward of emission L..cap alpha.. appear to be due to L..cap alpha.. in clouds of sufficiently low optical depth that L..beta.. is not detected. Systems A and K are similar in character to the absorption systems seen in 1331+170. The relative redshifts with respect to the emission systems are the same in the two QSOs and as such may provide evidence for Lyman line to Lyman continuum locking. (AIP)
