We present new optical identifications of previously unidentified faint extreme ultraviolet sources. Our total sample of 30 identified sources, of which 22 are new identifications, includes 24 late-type stars, three white dwarfs, two cataclysmic variables (CVs), and one active galactic nucleus. These sources are joint detections of the faint sources from the all-sky surveys of the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) in the 58-174 Å (0.071-0.214 keV) EUV band and of the ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter in the 5-120 Å (0.1-2.4 keV) X-ray band. We obtained medium-resolution spectra of the possible optical counterparts with the Shane 3 m telescope at Lick Observatory using the Kast double spectrograph covering a bandpass of 3600-7500 Å. Our sample of active late-type stars is dominated by K and M stars showing strong Balmer and Ca II emission lines. The white dwarfs are fairly typical for those detected in the EUVE survey with T_eff and logg ranging from 35 to 53 kK and 7.6 to 8.7, respectively. We found strong H and He emission lines typical of cataclysmic variables (CVs) for EUVE J0854+390 and EUVE J1802+180. EUVE J0854+390 is a newly identified cataclysmic variable showing radial velocity shifts to the red as large as ~400 km.s^–1. We associate EUVE J1802+180 with the previously identified CV, V884 Her (RX J1802.1+1804). Including the present work (22 new identifications), EUVE optical identification campaigns have identified ~28% of the presently cataloged NOID sources.
