Description:
Results are presented from photometric and spectroscopic observations of the six UV-bright objects in M71 which Richer and Fahlman (1988) proposed as candidate cataclysmic variables. It is found that the two brightest of these candidates are probably hot subdwarfs. It is suggested that the remaining candidates are more likely to be white dwarfs and subdwarfs than cataclysmic variables.
