Copernicus and Ariel V observations are reported for four X-ray sources which exhibit a correlation of intensity and spectral slope on timescales similar to that seen in Sco X-1. These sources include 3U 0614+09, 3U 1702-36 (Sco X-2), 3U 1728-16 (GX 9+9), and 3U 1758-25 (GX 5-1). The mean spectral parameters of each source are given, the short- and long-term behavior of different sources are described, and it is suggested that the similar X-ray characteristics of these four sources and Sco X-1 might indicate some degree of physical similarity as well as a similar optical and radio appearance. The observations are shown to strengthen the case for identifying 3U 0614+09 and 3U 1728-16 with relatively faint blue stars in or near their X-ray error boxes.
