As part of a search for binaries containing long-period, red variables in the Southern Hemisphere, the periods for ten such objects based on photographic and new photoelectric observations made within the last decade have been determined. Results for the three stars having no prior periods are as follows: FU Hya, 190 days; EI TrA, 274 days; and V1161 Sgr, 175 days. Finding charts and light curves for some of these variables are presented, and the uncertainties in the results discussed. The unreliability of predicted times of maximum brightness, based on older ephemerides, is demonstrated by showing such predictions to be in error by more than a quarter of a period in individual instances, when compared with results from recent observations.
