The Seyfert 2 observations of De Zotti and Gaskell (1985) and Bonato et al. (1989) are analyzed in order to study the H-alpha/H-beta ratios. The H-gamma/H-beta and H-alpha/H-beta data are compared graphically. The effects of the amount and distribution of dust in Seyfert 2 galaxies on Balmer decrements are examined. It is concluded that the intrinsic values for H-alpha/H-beta = 3.3 - 3.4 and H-gamma/H-beta = 0.45, resulting from emitting condensations in which dust is mixed with the ionized gas. 19 refs.
