Abstract
This thesis describes a survey, the Cape Survey, which was started with the intention of discovering more roAp stars suitable for asteroseismological studies and also to identify the limits of the roAp phenomenon in temperature and luminosity. This is the most extensive survey of the roAp phenomenon to date. Prior to the start of the Cape Survey, only 14 roAp stars, discovered over a period of 12 years, were known. The Cape Survey has yielded another 10 new roAp stars in the past three years. The candidates for the Cape Survey were mostly drawn from the Ap SrCrEu stars in the Michigan Spectral Catalogue.
