                    NEW VARIABLES OF U GEM TYPE

     On plates, taken with the Schmidt-Telescope 134/200/400 cm
of Karl-Schwarzschild Observatory, covering 11.5 square degrees,
centered at 28 Vul, I found a variable in the position

     1855.0   20h32m10s  +22deg12'.1
     1900.0   20 34  9   +22   21 .5

     The increase of ~5m in 2d and the rather steep decline 13d
later suggest that the star might have been much brighter in the meantime. 
Because of the moonlight there is only a slight hope that the
region might have been photographed elsewhere.

     The place of the star is covered by 173 plates of the 140 mm
Triplet from 1928 to 1964. The variable is not separated from the s. p.
star 15m. On 16 plates it might be visible, but only on 2 plates it is
rather certain: 1930 Aug 20 15m.5, and 1955 Sep 22 15m. It has never 
been observed brighter than 15m. The investigation of 447 Sky
Patrol plates from 1929 to 1964 with limits between 12m and 14m gave
no positive result. On Palomar Sky Atlas the star is hardly visible on
the blue, invisible on the red plate.

     Three more variables of U Gem type were found in the area
around tau Cyg:

                      RA  1855.0     D

     S 9108 Cyg    21h 1m 58s    +36deg 39'.1   13m.5 - 18m
     S 9110 Cyg    21  2  26     +36    14 .2   15.5  - 18
     S 9113 Cyg    21  5  19     +38    21 .7   18    -[20


     Two other areas centered at epsilon Aql and epsilon Cyg did not
yield any new U Gem type variables so far.

              Remark to Bulletin No.80

      On the little chart the variable is hardly to be recognized as a
small ring. The variable is the star 9.4 mm from the right side and
3.8 mm from below.
