Results obtained on V1719 Cyg defined to be equal to HD 200925 (period 0.267 d), V798 Cyg (0.196 d), and V974 Oph (0.191 d) are presented here. These three Delta Sct-type variables show an asymmetric light curve with a descending branch steeper than the ascending one, a feature that has, so far, never been found in any such variable. A double-mode pulsation with f(1)f(2) = 0.800 is definitely established for V1719 Cyg. New measures secured on V798 Cyg suggest a possible second period with an uncertain value between f(2) = 7.41 c/d and its aliases. The light curve of V974 Oph also shows cycle-to-cycle variations that can be accounted for by a second period. The physical characteristics of these variables, in particlar those of V1719 Cyg, are discussed, and it is suggested that the phenomena observed may be accounted for by helium settling within the stellar envelope.
