New high-dispersion spectrograms of 93 Leo provide the data for a revision of the orbital elements of this system which exhibits a composite spectrum (A7 + G5). The orbit is found to be circular and the new elements are: P = 71.6900 days, T(0) = JD2443126.2, V(0) = + 0.4 km/s, K(G) = 29.7 km/s, K(A) = 33.8 km/s. The mass-ratio has been determined for the first time by a spectrophotometric separation of the two spectra. The A-type component of the spectrum arises from the less-massive star, but it is nevertheless the stronger component of the composite spectrum in the normal photographic region - although, until now, no radial velocities have been derived from it. The minimum mass of the G-type star is 1.02 solar mass and of the A-type star 0.89 solar mass. The evolutionary status of the system is briefly discussed.
