We report new results on the X-ray binaries in the LMC since IAU Symposium 108 (see review by Hutchings 1984). These include an update of the point source identifications after further optical observations and a reprocessing of the Einstein database. We report major new results on several specific systems. Among low-mass systems (LMXB), we report periods and orbital determinations for LMC X-2 (long period), CAL 83, and CAL 87 (eclipsing black-hole binary). For the high-mass X-ray binaries (MXRB), we announce an ˜ 99 day (precession?) period in LMC X-3 and discuss orbital determinations for LMC X-1 and 0538–66.
