$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=13.9cm,clip]{3455.f1.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 1: Finding charts (typically $45''\times 45''$ ) for WR stars in IC 10 based on WHT He II narrow-band imaging. Stars listed in the present work are indicated with either M # (MAC92) or R # (RSMV). [MAC92] 6 is spatially close (a few arcsec away) from the confirmed WR stars RSMV 9 and RSMV 8, but is not apparently coincident (despite suggestions to the contrary by Massey & Holmes 2002). North is up and east is to the left.

$\begin{figure} \par\vspace{7cm} \special{psfile=3455.f7.eps hoffset=-15 voffset=-110 hscale=50 vscale=50} \end{figure}$ Figure 7: Comparison between the emission C IV $\lambda$ 5801-12 emission equivalent widths (in Å) measured in our Gemini and CFHT datasets and absolute visual magnitude estimates for IC 10 WC stars (filled circles). Corrections to measured GMOS equivalent widths are shown for three stars, owing to contamination by nearby companions from HST WFPC2 images. Single (filled triangles) and binary (open triangles) WC stars in the LMC are shown for comparison (taken from Smith et al. 1990) assuming an LMC distance modulus of 18.50.

$\begin{figure} \par\vspace{7.2cm} \special{psfile=3455.f8.eps hoffset=-15 voffset=-105 hscale=50 vscale=50} \end{figure}$ Figure 8: WC/WN ratio for Local Group and Sculptor Group spiral (squares) and irregular galaxies (circles) versus oxygen content. Individual data points are taken from Massey & Johnson (1998), Schild et al. (2003). Recent evidence, based on model atmosphere calculations rather than H II region analyses, suggests a lower metallicity for M31 (Trundle et al. 2002). The ratio for IC 10 is shown based on the Massey & Johnson (1998) and present spectroscopic results (filled circles), plus a re-assessment of recent narrow-band imaging of Massey & Holmes (2002, open circle).

$\begin{figure} \par\includegraphics[width=15cm,bb= 8 172 510 845, clip]{3455.f2.eps} \end{figure}$ Figure 2: Finding charts ( $5''\times 5''$ ) for selected WR stars in IC 10 based on HST WFPC2 F555W imaging. As in the previous figure, catalogue names are from the present work, and in some cases ground-based point sources are resolved into multiple sources, -A and -B (or -C). In general, source A is the brighter and bluer object, and so is presumably the WR star, with the exception of [MAC92] 24, for which the He II emission line star is uncertain. With this exception, both -A and -B were included in our Gemini spectroscopy. The pixel scale of RSMV 11 is different since it comes from the high resolution PC1 CCD (0.046'' instead of 0.1''). North is up and east is to the left.
