  We have derived the ionization ratios of twelve elements in the atmosphere of
the star 68 Tauri (HD 27962) using an ATLAS9 model atmosphere with 72 layers
computed for the effective temperature and surface gravity of the star. We then
computed a grid of synthetic spectra generated by SYNSPEC49 based on an ATLAS9
model atmosphere in order to model one high resolution spectrum secured by one
of us (RM) with the echelle spectrograph SOPHIE at Observatoire de Haute
Provence. We could determine the abundances of several elements in their
dominant ionization stage, including those defining the Am phenomenon. We thus
provide new abundance determinations for 68 Tauri using updated accurate atomic
data retrieved from the NIST database which extend previous abundance works.
