Abstract: Further evidence is presented that the variable mid-B stars considered by Waelkens and Rufener (1985) are high-order low-degree pulsating stars. The photometric variations are found to be multiperiodic; the periods are an order of magnitude longer than that of the fundamental radial mode; and the color behavior is consistent with l = 1 or l = 2 oscillations. The present results are of interest in connection with the use of variable stars to probe stellar interior structure.
