Abstract
The relation between the amplitude of light Δm and the amplitude of the radial velocity 2K for β Canis Majoris stars is investigated. A linear relationship between Δm and 2K is found. However, the two stars BW Vul and σ Sco, which have the largest radial velocity variations, do not seem to share this relationship.
