Spectral energy distributions for 16 stars intended for use as spectrophotometric standards for large telescopes are presented. This list incorporates the eight stars previously described, with slightly revised magnitudes resulting from use of a more recent calibration of Vega. The monochromatic magnitudes of the stars range between 9 and 13; the eight new stars average nearly a magnitude fainter than those previously presented. The wavelength region covered extends from A3200 to A8370. Subject heading: spectrophotometry
