Fourier analysis of the light curves of RCrB in V band near maximum shows that in addition to several significant short periods there is a modulation of the visual light with a period around 1170 day, similar to that of L band flux, noticed by strecker. This indicates that there is some contribution to the visual light variations of the star from the pulsating circumstellar dust. Radial velocities of R CrB obtained at Kavalur during February-May 1985 show variations with a period around 47 days.
