{\it Notes}: { spectral types are from the
Catalog of Active Binary Stars (CABS) by Strassmeier et~al. (1993)
except for HU Vir (see Fekel et~al. 1999; Montes et~al. 2000).  The
$B-V$ colour the parallax $\pi$, the absolute visual magnitude $M_{\rm
V}$, and the amplitude of its variations $\Delta M_{\rm V}$ are from
the {\it HIPPARCOS} Catalogue and its Variability Annex.\\ The
photometric periods $P$ are indicated in Col. 4 together with the
corresponding reference: $^1$ Variability Annex to the Hipparcos
Catalogue; $^2$ CABS; $^3$ Hipparcos Input Catalogue.\\ For objects with
double-lined spectra, the last column indicates which one of the
stellar components is the active star, according to the following
sources: $^a$ Gunn et~al. (1998); $^b$ Fern\'andez-Figueroa et~al. (1986);
$^c$ Fern\'andez-Figueroa et~al. (1994); $^d$ Montes et~al. (1995a); $^e$
Montes et~al. (1995b); $^f$ Montes et~al. (1996); $^g$ Montes et
al. (1997); $^h$ Pagano et~al. (2001); $^i$ Fekel et~al. (1999). }
