We examine the pulsation properties for 13 members of the pulsating subdwarf B (sdBV, or EC 14026) class of stars. By looking at the pulsation structure of an entire class of stars, it may be possible to determine the various modes of pulsations (O’Brien 1998, Kleinman 1995). Unfortunately, when we examine the ensemble of pulsation periods in EC 14026 stars, we are only able to discern a simple correlation between pulsation period and gravity, and not any structure that might help with mode identification. So we can only report on the lack of structure in the pulsation periods and present some of the work underway, which we hope will identify modes in the future.
