Gore — A Revised Catalogue of Variable Stars. 129 
April, 1883. On October 31, 1883, it was 9-5 m., ''after which it 
decreased to 13 m. at the end of December, 1883. It remained 
invisible until the end of March, 1884, when it reappeared, and had 
increased to 9*4 by the end of June." (Science Observer, vol. iv., 
]S"o. 11.) 
]S"o. 69 a. TJ LEoms. — Included by Schonfeld in his provisional list. 
''He says, " + 14°, 2239 des Eonner Sternverzeichness, 9™-5. Peters, 
hat den Stern friiher als schwach 11™ gesehen; 1873, April 23, 
vermisst, Juli 12, wieder schwach gesehen. Seit December 30, im 
ihiesigen Eefractor unsichtbar. Die Yeranderlichkeit ist wohl Sicher, 
aber doch die Wiederscheinung und eine genaue Positionsbestim- 
mung abzuwarten." It is No. 310 of my Catalogue of Suspected 
'Variables. 
'No. 70. TJ Hyde^ = Birmingham, 242. — Duner describes the 
'Spectrum as " d'une beaute extraordinaire." Prom six years, obser- 
vations, 1881-1886, Espin finds the following provisional elements : — 
Max. = 1885, December 11-78 + 194'^'65 E, 
.and 
Min. =: max. + 107^ ±. 
No. 71. E Ues^ Majoeis. — Maxima were observed by J. Baxen- 
dell, junior, 1884, August 31 (mag. 7'4) ; and 1885, July 1 ±; by 
■Knott, 1885, June 28 ; and by Sawyer, 1884, August 29 (mag. 7-1) ; 
and 1885, July 1. Baxendell deduces a period of 302'22 days, with 
epoch 1863, December 21-7, and a variable maximum of 6-6 to 8-1. 
Sawyer finds the increase of light very rapid, but the decrease slow 
and irregular. Minima were observed by J. Baxendell, junior, 1885, 
March 23 (mag. 13*3) ; and December 29 (mag. 13-2) ; and by Knott, 
1885, March 10 (mag. 13-2). 
No. 72. r] AegiJs. — This remarkable variable still remains very 
faint. Tebbutt's observations in New South Wales from 1877 to 
1886, show that during the period it did not rise above 7 mag., and 
it was estimated 7*6 m. by Pinlay, in March, 1886. 
12 a — Leonis. — Pound to be variable by Prof. C. H. P. Peters, 
from observations at Clinton, U.S.A., 1877 to 1880 (A. JSf., 2360). 
This is No. 330 of Catalogue of Suspected Variables. 
No. 74. E Ceateeis. — Sadler fails to find any variation, and Espin 
llioubts the variability. It is a double star, h 1181.
