This paper provides orbital parameters for 38 barium stars and 10 extrinsic S stars derived from a decade-long CORAVEL monitoring. Lower bounds on the orbital period (generally exceeding 10 y) have been obtained for 10 more systems. Mira S, SC and (Tc-poor) C stars have also been monitored and show intrinsic radial-velocity variations due to atmospheric phenomena. Tentative orbital solutions are proposed for 3 stars (S UMa, X Cnc, BD-08:1900) where the velocity and photometric periods are different. Three stars (RZ Peg, SS Vir and R CMi) exhibit radial-velocity variations synchronous with the light variations. Pseudo-orbital solutions have been derived for those stars. In the case of RZ Peg, a line-doubling phenomenon is observed near maximum light, and probably reflects the shock wave propagating through the photosphere.
