The present review will focus upon the incidence, form, and characteristic timescale of long-term chromospheric variations that, from the work of O.C. Wilson and his successors, can be descerned in records of CaII H and K emission now extending over 16 years, and the relation, if any, between properties of activity cycles and stellar mass, age, and rate of rotation, in the light of current evidence.
