A few Seyfert 1s have a Hb profile with a red wing usually called the "red
shelf". The most popular interpretation of this feature is that it is due to
broad redshifted lines of Hb and [OIII]4959,5007; we have observed two Seyfert
1s displaying a "red shelf" and showed that in these two objects the main
contributor is most probably the HeI 4922,5016 lines having the velocity and
width of the broad Hb component. There is no evidence for the presence of a
broad redshifted component of Hb or [OIII] in any of these two objects.Comment: LaTeX file (uses AA vers. 5.1 class, enclosed), 8 pages, 9 figures.
