The most remarkable variable in the Southern Heavens. It was 
“discovered at Cordova and during the years 1872-1878 careful 
‘measures were made. Since then Mr. Tebbutt of Windsor, N.S.W., 
phas made the variation of this star a special study. A maximum 
occurred in January, 1892, but it was not well marked. It is now 
(March 17) slightly less than the 7th mag. At a minimum it is 
‘only visible in a fairly good telescope. A period of 310°8 days was 
‘obtained by comparing some measures made by Mr. Ellery, Melbourne, 
:in 1867, and measures made at Lovedale in 1891. Between these 
-years there were 29 periods. The periods are not at all similar, 
-and the light curve especially at a maximum varies each period.

Over one hundred observations were taken of this star during 
‘1891 alone. It was first discovered at Cordova by Dr. Gould who 
-assigned to it a period of thirty-one days and limits 3°7 and 4:2 mag. 
An examination of the observations here shewed that the period was 
not thirty-one days but 36°5 days, and a further examination of the data 
supplied by Dr. Gould in the Urauometria Argentina shewed that the 
~period of thirty-one days was not favoured by the Cordova measures, 
‘but that a period of thirty-six or thirty-seven days would be more 
‘satisfactory. The light curve is an extremely interesting one.

‘This star was discovered at Cordova but the variation was not 
‘satisfactorily determined. Not many measures were taken here, 
-only about twenty, and so no definite opinion can be offered.

A vari-ble discovered at Cordova; limits 6} to 8:0; and period 
‘undetermined. It is probably a long period variable. No variation — 
hhas been observed here during 1891, its normal magnitude being 8-0.
