Table 8: The chemical abundances of H  II regions in Sextans A. Where the electron temperature is measured, values derived with both the CLOUDY and the ICF methods are indicated. In the remaining cases, marked with a "*'', only the determinations done with CLOUDY are listed. In computing the average abundances, upper limits of individual determinations are not considered.
