Observations are reported of the lithium feature (6708 Á) in some bright southern stars, most of which are F, G, or K dwarfs. Three of these stars have been suggested as belonging to the Ursa Major Group. Two of these three have the large Li abundance and strong Call H and K emission expected of such young stars. The third potential Ursa Major Group member has little Li, but is also not a true kinematic member. No stars were found with abnormal 6 Li/ 7 Li ratios, in accord with other recent analyses. Thus, it appears that all stars have 6 Li/ 7 Li near the solar/terrestrial value of 0.08.
