Tables of evolutionary sequences for stars in the mass range 3 to 8 solar masses and mass ratios 0.9 and 0.6 are presented. The systems evolve through a case B phase of mass transfer. The evolution of both components is followed simultaneously. The chemical composition is X = 0.7, Z = 0.02, and moderate convective core overshooting (or = 0.25) is adopted. It is assumed that 50 percent of the matter lost by the primary is lost from the system. The evolutionary code used for the computations is the same as the code used for the massive close binary evolution, presented earlier. An analysis of the evolution as a semidetached system is given, together with an investigation of the rejuvenation through accretion of matter of the secondary (now brighter) component.
