     The accompanying light curve is preliminary. It is based on
nearly 3 000 estimates from Harvard patrol plates taken between 1890
and 1952. Circle size indicates relative weight.

     Protracted outbursts were observed only twice - in the late
1920's continuing throughout the 1930's, and again in the 1950's. The
light variations of AG Draconis from J.D. 2 430 000 to J.D. 2 437 000
have been described by Sharov ("Variable Stars," 13, 54, 1960).

     At least during its outbursts, AG Draconis varies cyclically
with a period of about one year. This effect was previously noted in the
1950 eruption.

     The writer will more fully discuss his observations in a future
paper.
