GrORE — On Suspected Variable Stars. 355 



withthe binocular on February 11, 1877. . On February 12 I found a 

 10 m. star close to the place, with. 3-inch refractor. The star may 

 possibly be variable. It lies a few minutes of arc s p, the star Lalande 

 20612. The position given in the catalogue is only approximate. 



ITo. 323. f CAEiiir.E. — 5 m. Lacaille ; 5-6 Behrmann. The Cordoba 

 estimates vary by 0-6 m. Gould calls it " orange red." 



1^0. 324. 2543 E TJes^ Majoeis. — Not va. Harding^ s Atlas; 6-7 

 Heis. Franks says, " 6^ m. fine red (1878), l^° S. of P.X. 126 

 (=B.A.C. 3652), a little /" {private letter). March 15, 1884, I esti- 

 mated it 6-7 m. 



IS'o. 325. Lacaille 4422 CARrN-JE. — 6 and 6^ Lacaille ; 1h Taylor ; 

 5 and 5i- Ellery ; 6-7 Cape Catalogue (1875-85). From observations 

 at Cordoba, Thome is confident of its variability ( TJranometria Argen- 

 tina, p. 254). 



ISTo. 326. Lacaille 4435 Caein^. — 6 m. Lacaille ; 6-5 Behrmann. 

 Suspected variable by Gould, the Cordoba estimates varying from 6*1 

 to 6-7. The star is red. 



No. 327. w Qilbjsm (= Lacaille 4446). — 6.5 Behrmann. The Cor- 

 doba estimates vary from 4 -SI" to 5*4, and Dr. Gould considers it possibly 

 variable. It is a red star. 



No. 328. Lacaille 4479 CAEiNiE. — The Cordoba estimates vary 

 from 6-7 to 7'2, and Gould considers variation probable between still 

 wider limits. 



No. 329. Lalande 20918 Htde^. — 6|- Lalande; 6 m. Argelander. 

 Estimated 7-3 at Cordoba, July 6, 1871, but only 8 m. May, 1877. 

 Dr. Gould calls it " very red" {TJranometria Argentina, pp. 303, 304). 

 It is No. 248 of Birmingham's Catalogue. Birmingham's observations 

 vary from 7 to 8. 



No. 330. - Leonis. — Suspected variable by Professor C. H. F. Peters, 

 from observations at Clinton, U.S.A., 1877 to 1880. He found an 

 observation of it as 9 m., February 12, 1872, but could not see the 

 star on the following dates : — April 12, 1877, and May, 1877; Feb- 

 ruary 26 and April 14, 1878 ; April 27, May 2, and 11, and June 2, 

 1880 ; but saw it very small February 16, 19, and March 2, 1880 (AN 

 2360). Probably this star should be transferred to Catalogue of Knoion 

 Variables. 



No. 331. P H:ydej3.— 5m. Lalande (20969); 5m. Heis; 6 m. 

 Franks, March 13, 1878. Argelander's meridian observations vary 

 from 4-8 to 6-0. The Cordoba estimates range from 5*2 to 5-7.
