Fourier analyses have been conducted of those asteroids in the Lagerkvist et al. (1987) lightcurves with substantially complete phase coverage and point density, and for which a unique period has been identified. Fourier coefficients are thereby obtained for 188 lightcurves of 91 asteroids, as well as for 868 synthetic lightcurves from a set of models different in shape and albedo markings; by comparing model and asteroid lightcurve coefficients, the possible shape and albedo variations for 18 asteroids are derived. An attempt is made to define the general distribution of shapes of all asteroid samples analyzed.
