Abstract:
   Differential Stroemgren uvby photometric observations from the Four College
   Automated Photoelectric Telescope of four chemical peculiar stars is 
   presented and analyzed. The peculiar Hg-Mn star {alpha} And is found not 
   to be a photometric variable within the errors of measurement contrary to 
   some published studies. Observations of the magnetic CP star HD 184905 were
   used to refine the zero epoch and the period which was found to be 1.85435 
   days. Our photometry and that of Morrison & Wolff are generally quite 
   similar. We find evidence for two sub-minima within the broad minimum in 
   both u and y. The cool magnetic CP star HR 8216 is non-variable in 
   agreement with previous studies that suggested it was constant or a very 
   long period variable. The CP star HR 8434 has a period of 1.43242 days and 
   shows a generally in phase variation of u, v, b, and y. The light curves 
   have two nearly equally maximum and a sharp minimum. The largest amplitude 
   is for u, 0.085 mag.
