    Conformastationary solutions of the five-dimensional vacuum Einstein equations, depending on one or two harmonic potentials are constructed. The solutions depending on one potential fall in three distinct classes. Solutions of two of these classes may be combined to yield a class of solutions depending on two potentials, which correspond to the Israel- Wilson-Perjès solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell theory. The asymptotically flat solutions of this class describe systems of rotating electric or magnetic monopoles.
