ably over fifty) it was uniformly of the 8th mag.

Lacaille noted this star 6th mag. and in Proctor’s Atlas it is 
accordingly entered as a 6th mag. star. At Cordova it was recorded 
as variable between the limits 9°0 and 7:3. It has not varied here 
during 1891, its usual value being 8°2 mag.

This star was also discovered at Cordova, the assigned limits being 
6°5 and 7:2. It has varied slightly during 1891, decreasing about

This star—a 7th mag. one—is not contained in Stone’s Catalogue... 
Mr. Finlay informs me it is not in Gould’s Zones. It must therefore 
be a new variable. Since its discovery in December it has slightly 
decreased in magnitude.

This variable was discovered by Stanley Williams who assigned to 
it a period of 44 days. I find its maximum limits to be much higher 
than those found by Williams. Mr. Williams found it alternately 
greater and less than L. 3069. It has never been observed here less, 
and there are very good grounds for supposing that L. 3069 itself is 
variable. I have not been able to confirm Mr. Williams’s period yet.

The variation of this star was not definitely settled at Cordova, 
but yet Pr. Gould says he has no doubt as to its variation. The: 
limits he assigns to it are 6°5 and 7'5. The very few measures- 
taken here show no variation.
