                 OF THREE VARIABLE STARS

     Among a number of Cepheids which the author has observed
photoelectrically at the McDonald Observatory, USA, in July 1963,
there are three variables which appeared to be RR Lyrae stars.
These three stars are: V 414 Oph, V 558 Oph and EN Lyr. In the
following table the new provisional periods are given together with
the old periods and their references.
