Radial velocity observations of λ Eridani between 1971 and 1980 and uvbyHα photometry in 1977 show that the star is both a light and velocity variable with a period of 0.701538 d. Copernicus observations in 1977 are compatible with this result. Both the radial velocity and photometric amplitude are variable, and these variations may be correlated with the hydrogen emission line strength. The character and phasing of the light and velocity curves suggest that λ Eridani is a pulsating variable.
