We have identified one new spectroscopic binary, HD 4306, and one possible such system, HD 184711. We also provide 57 radial velocities for 11 of the 91 stars reported in our previous work. All but one of the 11 stars had been found to have variable radial velocities. Description: The spectra of our new program stars have been obtained in the same fashion as those studied by Carney et al. (2003AJ....125..293C 2003AJ....125..293C), using the Center for Astrophysics Digital Speedometers, primarily with the 1.5m Wyeth reflector at the Oak Ridge Observatory in Harvard, Massachusetts as well as the 1.5m Tillinghast reflector and the MMT instruments atop Mt. Hopkins in Arizona.
