GrORE — On Suspected Variable Stars. 327 



Dec. 7, 1877. It is a red star, and !No. 88 of Birmingham'' s Catalogue ; 

 5-5 m. Birmingliam, 1872, Feb. 10, and 1873, Jan. 22; 7 m. ■^^'ebb, 

 1874. The Cordoba estimates vary fi'om 5'6 to 6*6, and Dr. Gould 

 says, "I entertain little doubt of its variability." 5'74 and 5*9 H.P. 

 March 8, 1883, I estimated it 5-7. 



1^0. 125. W.B. 1025 Oeionis. — 6m. Harding; 7m. Bessel and 

 Santini; 5-7 in Burchnusterung ; 6 m. Heis and Argelander. The 

 Cordoba estimates vary from 6-0 to 6'4. The position given by Gould 

 for this star is 1 minute of E.A., preceding LL. 9243, but agrees -^th 

 Lalande's star in J^T.P.D. Harding shovs Lalande's star as 7 m., and 

 Gould's star as 6 m. Feb. 24, 1884, I estimated Gould's star 6-1 m., 

 two steps less than 14 Orionis, and one step less than 33; Lalande's 

 star not seen with binocular. 5-57 H.P. and 5"2 " est." 



]S^o. 126. 7r« OEiojas (= Fl. 10 = LL. 9358).— 3 m. Ptolemy; 4m. 

 Sufi; 4^m. Lalande; 4m. Harding; 5-4 Argelander and Heis; 4*7 

 Gould;" 5 m. Franks, Dec. 7, 1877; 4-74 Pritehard (1881-976) 

 Schjellerup calls attention to the discrepancy in the magnitudes 

 assigned to this star, in the preface to his translation of Al. Sufi's 

 Bescription of the Heavens (p. 25). 4'72 H.P. 



March 18, 1876, I found tt*' much less than tt", and about 5 m, 



March 4, 1883, tt^ equal to p Orionis. 



IN'o. 127. Lala:s"de 9420 Lepoeis. — 5^ m. Lalande; 6 Harding ; 6 m. 

 Heis (in Eridanus) ; 6-0 Gould; 5-4 Espin (1883). Espin says, "an 

 undoubted variable ; probably Class III." — {private letter'). 5'37 H.P, 



IS'o. 128. Lalakde 9418-19 Oeioi^is. — A ^vide double star; 7^, 8 

 Lalande; 8 Harding; 6 m. Argelander; 6-7 Heis; 6*2 Gould. From 

 the Cordoba observations, compared with those of Lalande, Bessel, and 

 Argelander, Dr. Gould concludes that " one of the components must 

 vary by about a unit." 5-95 H.P. 



March 23, 1884, I estimated the star 6*4 m. with binocular, 



jS"o. 129. Lalande 9462 Oeionis = Birmingham 95. — 6|- Lalande; 

 6m. Schjellerup; 7m. Piazzi ; 7m. Bessel; 6m. Argelander and Heis; 

 5-9. Gould, at Albany (1859), and 6-6 at Cordoba (1872). Birmingham 

 found it 6-5, 1875, Jan. 9, and 1876 Jan. 13, "pale straw colour." 

 Gould calls it " decided orange." March 3, 1884, 1 estimated it 6-4 m. ; 

 March 31, 6-4. 6-20 H.P. 



jSTg. 130. 1 Leporis. — 6A- m. Lalande (9552) ; 6 m. Harding; not in 

 Argelander's Uranometria or Sets' Catahgiie ; 6*1 Gould; 6^ Franks, 

 Dec. 7, 1877 ("deep yeUow"). 5-97 H.P. 



Jan. 4, 1876, I found it about 6i- m, and just visible to the naked 

 eye in a clear sky (Punjab). It is of an orange tint in the telescope, 

 and is preceded at about 3' distance by a small star 10-i- or 11m.
