Following the detailed study of four very high luminosity OB stars, a survey has been made for spectroscopic evidence of mass loss in a number of early-type supergiants. A list of spectroscopic criteria is given and the mass loss estimates for 24 stars plotted on the HR diagram. The dependence of the phenomenon on spectral type and luminosity is discussed as well as its significance in terms of stellar evolution.
