Abstract

A period of 369 days (R-band data) or 359 days (V-band data) is found for the Mira variable LO Aurigae and a revised period of 520 days (R data) or 507 days (V data) is given for the Mira variable VX Ursae Majoris. The errors in these periods are estimated at about ten days. These periods are based on R- and V-filter CCD observations made between November 1990 and August 1992.
