            TWO NEW SHORT PERIOD VARIABLES

	The stars HR 5329 and beta Cassiopeiae are probably members 
of the delta Scuti group.
	The variability of beta Cas was first observed on October 16,
1964, and was confirmed on August 6 and 19, 1965. The period of this
star is 0.104 days and its amplitude is 0.04 mag. in V (Figure 1).
	The variability of HR 5329 was observed first on August 13,
1964. This variability has been confirmed on several nights. The
period of this star is near 0.069 days. The amplitude in V is near 0.04
mag. but may vary by about one hundredth of a magnitude (Figure 2).
