Extract

Two-colour photoelectric light curves have been obtained for 9 SMC and 7 LMC variables, with periods in the range 1.24-6.61 days. Because of crowding problems, satisfactory observations could be obtained only for cepheids in the outer parts of the Clouds. The LMC cepheids are in the vicinity of NGC 1805-1818, in a field studied at Herstmonceux. The majority of those in the SMC are immediately south of NGC 362.
