Orbital solutions are now available for 46 binaries which are members of the Hyades. The distribution of eccentricity versus period shows evidence for tidal circularization of the short-period binaries. However, the transition from circular to eccentric orbits is not clean. The first eccentric orbit has a period of 5.75 days, while the last circular orbit has a period of 8.50 days. For longer periods the distribution of eccentricity is the same as for solar-type stars in the field.
