Let f be a continuous map of the circle to itself. Let P(f) denote the set of periods of the periodic points. In this paper the set P(f) is studied for functions without fixed points, so 1∉P(f). In particular, it is shown that if s, t are the two smallest integers in P(f) and s and t are relatively prime then αs+βt∈P(f) for any positive integers α and β.
