Abstract
Photoelectric observations of WX Eridani inB andV filters have been discussed. The maximum magnitudes of the system areB=9m.70 andV=9m.46. TheB-V colours of the components are 0m.16 and 0m.80 for the primary and the secondary, respectively, while their spectral types are A5+K0. The period has been found to be constant and its revised value is 0d.823 270 76.
