In AAVSO Bulletin 81 there are two stars that exhibit double maxima: R Cen and R Nor. These stars therefore have primary and secondary maxima and minima. They are not included in the main Bulletin table.
AAVSO Bulletin 81 - Predicted Dates of Maxima and Minima of Long Period Variables for 2018 - is published in the format that was introduced in 2011.

381 Long Period Variables for 2018
Letter to Users of 2018 Bulletin

What are variable stars and why are astronomers interested in them?
