Abstract:
    The results of optical spectroscopy of 169 southern and equatorial
    objects previously known as irregular variables are presented. The
    targets were selected via photoelectric UBV photometry among objects
    classified as L, L:, I, I:, IS and IS: in the General Catalogue of
    Variable Stars and New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars.
    Among these objects we have identified 8 cataclysmic variables, 8
    symbiotic stars and stars that belong to a variety of other classes.
