                LIGHT CURVE OF BV 1101


The eclipsing variable BV 1101 was reported by Strohmeier, Ott, and Schoffel in
IBVS no. 261 (1968). It was then observed photoelectrically with the 16-inch
telescopes at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The comparison star
used is SAO 241264 (B8)=Cap -54d5776(8.^m4). The figures show the raw blue
observation made on April 30 - May 1 and May 5-6, where 
Delta m=m(var.)-m(comp.). 
The observed time of primary minimum is estimated to be
2439977.689, which agrees with the reported light elements, (O-C)=+0.^d029.
Detail analysis of the UBV observation of this star is underway.

           CARD CATALOGUE FOR ECLIPSING VARIABLES


The card catalogue of reference material for eclipsing variables, initiated at
Princeton and continued since 1950 at the University of Pennsylvania, has now
been transferred to the University of Florida. Information concerning any
system will continue to be supplied on request. Request should be addressed
to:

                    Department of Physics and Astronomy
                    University of Florida
                    Gainesville, Florida 32001
                    U.S.A.

In the move to new quarters at Pennsylvania, several copies of the Fourth
Edition of "A Finding List for Observers of Eclipsing Variables" (Koch,
Sobieski, and Wood) were discovered. These will be supplied on request to
interested observers as long as the supply lasts.
