Abstract: 
   Photometric data in the Geneva system for 26 Cepheid stars are given, 
   representing 869 individual measurements. After a short explanation on 
   the analysis, the choice of the period and the quality of the fit of the 
   light curve are discussed. The data and the fitted light- and colour curves
   are given, as well as the Fourier coefficients of the best fit for each star.
