A spectrum of the veiled T Tauri star CY TauWe present a flux calibrated spectrum of the star listed as CY Tau in the `General Catalog of Variable Stars 4th ed.' in the spectral range 3700 A less than or equal to lambda less than or equal to 6400 A with a resolution of approximately equals 15 A showing the Balmer-Series from H(sub beta) to H(sub 10) as well as the CaII H (in blend with H(sub epsilon) and K lines in emission. Apart from the emission lines the spectrum is composed of a continuum equivalent to that of an ordinary pre-main sequence star (i.e. a `naked' T Tau) of spectral type M2 V with emission lines plus a `blue' veiling continuum that can be described as black body radiation of temperature T(sub BL) approximately equals 7000K due to accretion onto a boundary layer at a rate of M-dot(sub acc) greater than or approximately = 2.18 10(exp -8) solar mass/a.
