We present in this paper new 
photometry of
eight stars suspected to be γ Doradus variables according to
Handler & Kaye (2000). The new observational material has
been analyzed and previously published data re-analyzed by means of an
objective period search technique, based on the least-squares
algorithm, called Multifre (Bossi & Nuñez 2002). We
found evidence for the inclusion of seven of these stars
in the list of recognized γ Doradus variables.
