Gore — On Suspected Variable Stan. 369 



catalogue r6duit aux frais de I'association Brittanique), a ete bien vu 

 par moi, comme etoile de 6 me. grandeur, a la date 1875-47. Elle 

 n'avait pas ete notee aux dates 1875-10 et 1875-41. II n'est pas im- 

 possible qu'elle soit variable." 



No. 430. Lalande 26211-12 Booxis.— 6 and 9 m. Lalande ; 8 m. 

 Bessel. Not in ITeis's Catalogue. My observations are : — 



May 6, 1877, about 7 m. or perhaps 7-2 — less than LL 26182. 



June 8, 1877, about the same magnitude. 



March 1, 1878, about 7|- m.— less than LL 26229 and LL 26245. 



April 21, 1878, 7 m.; March 12, 1880, l^m.; about 0-2 m. 

 fainter than LL 26229. 



No. 431. V ViEGiNis. — 5 m. Lalande and Harding; 5 Heis, 5 m. 

 in Durchmusterung ; 6 Piazzi, and d' Agelet. The Cordoba estimates 

 fluctuate from 5-1 to 5-6 ( Z7. Argentina, p. 320). 



No. 432. Lalande 26200 Virginis. — 6 m. Lalande and Harding ; 

 6*3 in D M ; 6 Heis. The Cordoba estimates were 6-5 in 1871, and 

 6-6 in 1872, but Dr. Gould estimated it 5-9 at Albany {W.A., p. 320). 



April 7, 1884, 1 estimated it 6-2 (equal to LL 26056). 6-11 H.P. 



No. 433. 103 ViEGiNis. — 7 and 64- Lalande (i;^) ; 7 Harding ; 6 

 Piazzi ; 7 Bessel. Not in Argelander' s Uranometria ; 6-7 DM; 6 

 Heis; 7-2 at Cordoba (1871), and 6-8 (1874). 



No. 434. 51 (k) Hydr^. — 6 m. Lacaille (5917) ; 6 and 5^ Lalande ; 

 6-5 Argelander ; 6 Heis ; 6-5 Behrmann. The Cordoba estimates ac- 

 cord in making it 5-0, and Dr. Gould says, " This star has manifestly 

 grown brighter in recent years." 4-90 H.P. 



No. 435. — YiKGiNis. — A nebula discovered by Barnard in 1882, 

 and suspected to be variable, as it is not found in the zones of the 

 Harvard Observatory. 



No. 436. Birmingham 327 Bootis.— 6 m. Lalande (26325) ; 6 m. 

 d' Arrest; 7m. Bessel; 7-3 Argelander. Birmingham's estimates of 

 magnitude, 1872-1876 vary from 6 to 7-5, and he considers the star 

 " strikingly variable in colour," from "no colour" to "reddish." It 

 is 6-7 in the Uranometria Argentina, and marked "c" (coloured). 

 April 7, 1884, I estimated it 6-9 m., three steps less than LL 26312, 

 which lies closely to the north of it. 



No. 437. Birmingham 328 Boons.— 7i- Lalande (26342); 8-0 

 Argelander. Birmiagham's observations, 1872-1876, vary from 7-3 to 

 90. 



No. 438. 6 BooTis. — 5-4 Sufi. Not given by Lalande ; 3 Harding; 

 4-3 Argelander; 4 Heis; 4 Franks, April 14, 1878. 4-02 Pritchard 

 ri882-434). Sir W. Herschel found 19 (A) • 23 {6) , 21 (t). 4-25 

 H.P.
