We report some of the recent results of our studies on δ Scuti star pulsation which are based on observations made at Merate and La Silla Observatories, sometimes in two site campaigns. Our recent experiences on X Caeli and 44 Tauri have shown that quite complicate light curves can be resolved even with observations obtained from one site only, if compact and accurate datasets are collected on sufficiently long time baselines (Mantegazza and Poretti, 1992; Poretti et al., 1992). Here we report the preliminary results of the light curve analysis of three more stars surveyed for more than 120 hours each: BI CMi, HD 18878 and HD 224639.

BI CMi has been observed in a two-site campaign in January-February 1991, the observations being collected during 17 nights. The frequency analysis of the light curve allowed us to identify unambiguously 4 pulsation modes at 8.247, 8.863, 8.514 and 7.424 c/d with semi-amplitudes of 22, 19, 5 and 5 mmag respectively.
