ADC_Keywords: Stars, luminous ; Photometry, VRI Abstract: V(RI)C photometry has been obtained for 262 reddened and very reddened stars selected from the Stephenson & Sanduleak (1971, Cat. III/43) catalogue of Luminous Stars in the Southern Milky Way (LSS). This photometry, together with data from earlier papers in this series, is used to identify a number of probable variable stars.

Three of the objects are in fields which are crowded and/or contaminated with strong nebulosity so that misidentification or "background" effects are more probable than variability.
