• Table 2: The stellar parameters and absolute abundance estimates, together with their estimated uncertainties, for NGC 346-11 and AV 304. The quantities inside brackets are the number of lines used to estimate the abundances. For the ions denoted with a ^* the abundance estimates have been calculated using LTE rather than non-LTE methods as discussed in Sect. 3.4.
• Table 3: A breakdown of the uncertainities in the abundance of each species due to both the uncertainity arising from random errors and the uncertainity in each of the adopted atmospheric parameters.
• Table 4: LSR velocities (rounded to the nearest km s^-1) of the different components observed in the interstellar Ca IIK line. The values for AV 304 have been taken directly from Rolleston et al. (2003).
• Table 5: Present-day chemical composition of the SMC as derived from NGC 346-11 and AV 304. Also included are the results from some recent studies of B-type stars, viz. Korn et al. (2000) and Trundle et al. (2004) and H II regions in the SMC, viz. Kurt et al. (1999); Reyes (1999); Testor (2001).
• Table 1: The equivalent widths ( EW) and derived abundances for the metal lines observed in the spectra of AV 304 and NGC 346-11.
