Gore — On Known Variable 8tars. 209 



53. S Puppis. — I estimated this star 8 m. in March. 1876. 



65. E Leoitis. — Minimum, 1882, J^ovember 6, 9 m., Schmidt. 



94. S BooTis. — Schmidt observed a maximum (8 mag.), Sept. 26, 

 1876. 



107. R CoEOK^. — I have made the following further observations 

 of this remarkable variable : — August 13, 1883, E. small "with binocu- 

 lar, about 7 m. ; August 17, 1883, not seen with binocular, moon- 

 light; March 17, 1884, E brighter than 6 m. ; March 20, about the 

 same ; April 2, about 5'8 m. ; April 7, E bright with binocular, moon- 

 light ; April 19, bright, no moon ; May 12, E, about 5*9 m. ; May 18, 

 about 5'9 m. 



109. V CoEoi^^^. — The observations seem to indicate a period of 

 about 290 + days. 



124. y Heecttlis. — It is said to be white at maximum and ruddy 

 at minimum. {Cel. Objects, p. 321.) 



142. /3 Lth.^. — According to Pickering, if the light at either 

 maximum be represented by 100, that of the two minima will be 55"8 

 and 64"7. {Observatory/, October, 1881.) 



174. 63 CY&iiri. — Taking Peirce's measured magnitudes of the 

 comparison stars, the observed magnitudes in the notes should be 

 raised from 5'0 to 4*7. The star seems to me very reddish, but it is 

 not in Birmingham's Catalogue. . 



175. T Cephei. — I observed this star at or about a maximum on 

 March 22, 1884, when I estimated it 6*4 m. 



178. 'NoYA. Cygh-i. — Backhouse observed a line in the spectrum of 

 this star at about 4960, which agrees fairly well in position with the 

 second nebular line. This, however, rapidly faded out, and the spec- 

 trum was ultimately reduced to a line whose wave length was 5022. 

 "Ward found the star only 16 m. in October, 1881. {Knotvledge, 

 Jan. 4, 1884). Schmidt looked for it repeatedly in 1882, but with- 

 out success. 



179. yu. Cephei. — This star was measured at Oxford with the 

 "wedge" photometer 4-53 (1883"011), e Cephei on the same date 

 being measured 4-78.
