Our limited supply of masses of G-K main-sequence stars is doubled by observation of detached eclipsing binaries of short period with the CCD-echelle spectrometer at the Lick Observatory. Velocities are determined from averages of about 30 spectral orders. The masses obtained are generally greater than in 'standard' tables for stars of a given spectral type. The results reported here are provisional. The need for more work, spectroscopic, photometric, and model building, in this relatively unexplored region of the H-R diagram is emphasized.
