Abstract:	We have detected enormously enhanced 18O and correspondingly small values of 16O/18O in many hydrogen-deficient carbon (HdC) stars and R Coronae Borealis (R CrB) stars. The similar ratios suggest a common origin for the two types of stars. Of the two leading candidates for the origin of R CrB stars, white dwarf mergers and final helium flashes, the former appears more likely to produce this and other observed isotopic anomalies.
