  We present the results of low dispersion optical spectroscopy of 186 H II
regions spanning a range of radius in 13 spiral galaxies. Abundances for
several elements (oxygen, nitrogen, neon, sulfur, and argon) were determined
for 185 of the H II regions. As expected, low metallicities were found for the
outlying H II regions of these spiral galaxies. Radial abundance gradients were
derived for the 11 primary galaxies; similar to results for other spiral
galaxies, the derived abundance gradients are typically -0.04 to -0.07 dex/kpc.
