The authors have obtained UBVRI mean light observations of HD 6532, HD 6491 and HD 5737 with respect to the F5IV comparison star HD 7259. A frequency analysis of the HD 6532 data shows that it has a rotation period of Prot = 1.9455±0.0019 day. The authors have discovered that HD 6491 has sinusoidal light variations with a period of either 0.82841±0.00011 day, or twice that period, or, slightly less likely, 4.868±0.004 day. No unequivocal variation was found in HD 5737 although a period of 58.8 day is consistent with the data and previous magnetic observations.
