A discussion of radial velocities determined at the Radcliffe Observatory for 20 southern Cepheids and those found in the literature for another 20 stars lead to the conclusion that 15% of Cepheids are members of long period binary systems (1). The observational data were heterogeneous, few stars having been observed by a single observer or with the same instrument over a sufficient length of time to detect long period variations in the mean velocity.
