We present a second list of systematic radial-velocity measurements of Magellanic-Cloud Cepheids. For five Cepheids in the Large Magellanic Cloud and six in the Small, we give 615 radial-velocity measurements, covering their complete periods. The B magnitudes range from 12.5 to 15.0, and the periods from 42.7 to 134.7 days. All measurements were made with the Coravel photoelectric scanner attached to the Cassegrain focus of the 1.54 m Danish telescope at La Silla, ESO, in Chile, from January 1981 to November 1987. The number of observations for each star varies from 40 to 92. Among the Cepheids, we have identified three long-period spectroscopic binaries. For the remaining Cepheids, radial velocity versus phase diagrams have been fitted by an analytic relation, and the stellar radius variation has been derived by integration of this relation over the whole period.
