           NEW ELEMENTS FOR THE BINARY BV 267
                   FROM PHOTOELECTRIC
             AND SPECTROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS

      The variability of BD + 46deg985 (7.7mag) was firstly announced by
Strohmeier (1959), who photographically found an EB light curve with
a period of 0.684315day (Strohmeier et al., 1963).

      Radial velocities obtained from single-lined spectra at Asiago
(40 A/mm at H-gamma) and photoelectric observations made at Loiano in
1964-1966 yielded the following preliminary elements:

      Min = JD 2438769.3316 + 1.24730day x E
       K = 70 km/s, Gamma = + 10 Km/s, e = 0

      The light curve is of the Algol type.
      A detailed study of the system will be published.
      We are indebted to Dr. Strohmeier who kindly supplied 
elements and identification chart in advance of publication.
