Observations obtained from July 1983 to January 1987 of the chromospheric He I triplet at 10830 A are presented for 19 late-type stars. The results confirm the suggestion by O'Brien and Lambert (1986) that the 10830 A feature in K giants to the left of the coronal dividing line (CDL) is broad, shallow, and constant. Arcturus and Gamma Dra to the right of the CDL are found to show a variable 10830 A feature. The variations appear to be periodic for Alpha Boo, with a basic interval of about 78 days. It is suggested that the rotational period is about 233 days. For Gamma Dra the He I triplet was in emission with a variable equivalent width from 1983 to 1987.
