Abstract

We have classified 368 Mira variables of M, S and C spectral classes based on the shape of their visual light curve. The classification is esentially based on Ludendorff's (1928) scheme and the light curves used are mainly from the compilation of Campbell (1955). The distribution of light curves over period, mean amplitude, light curve asymmetry factor f, period variability, and spectral class at maximum are discussed.
