From published photometric periods for BY Dra type stars, the angular momentum per unit mass (J/M) for a number of these objects has been computed. The compound values of J/M show that the late type main sequence flare stars have high angular velocities and that their distribution of J/M for spectral types later than K0V, as a function of mass, exceeds by several orders of magnitude any possible extrapolation of the same distribution for intermediate masses. A simple model, developed to explain these results is described.
