High $S/N$ high-resolution spectroscopic observations of seven bright well-known $\lambda$ Bootis stars: HD 31295, HD 91130, HD 110411, HD 125162, HD 183324, HD 192640, and HD 221756 are presented. Sharp absorption details observed in the bottoms of the Na-D lines in HD 192640 and HD 221756 do not show any radial velocity changes with an accuracy up to $1\,{\rm km\,s}^{-1}$. They are of interstellar origin. Manifestations of non-radial pulsation reported earlier in literature are observed both in the Na-D and the ${\rm H}\alpha$ line profiles. The Inglis-Teller formula was used to evaluate the electron density in the upper atmospheric layers ($\tau \sim 0.1$). The values obtained for $\log{N_e}$ are typical for normal A stars with similar effective temperatures and spectral classes.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
