Photographic spectroscopy of HR 4665 (sp. K0 III) shows it to be a double-line binary with strong Ca II H and K emission present in both components. The orbit is established from radial-velocity measurements, mostly made photoelectrically. High-resolution Reticon observations of the red region show no trace of H-alpha emission and establish a luminosity ratio near unity. HR 4665 seems to be a member of Hall's (1976) 'long-period group' of RS CVn-like variables, though the near equality of masses, spectral types, and surface activity levels in the two components makes it an atypical member of the class.
