Five semi-detached systems have been identified having detached components with spectral types G or K. These stars form a sequence having temperature decreasing with increasing mass, in contrast to the “classical” Algols with hotter detached components having properties roughly approximating those of detached main sequence stars. The status of the cool Algols is discussed briefly. A second group of 3 detached components in Algols is identified having higher temperatures than main sequence stars of the same mass.
