Recent publications have discussed the existence of stable B stars in the β CMa instability strip of the (β, Q) plane (Lesh and Aizenman, 1973) and the (log g, θ e) and (M bol, log T e) planes (Watson, 1972). The new lists of Strömgren uvbyβ photometry published by Crawford et al. (1970, 1971a, 1971b) for most of the B stars in the Bright Star Catalogue suggested that one might determine quite precisely the proportion of stable B stars (that is, stars not known as β CMa variables) in a luminosity/colour plot in the form of the β index against [c 1] = c 1 −0.2 (b – y).
