              NEW FLARES IN PLEIADES


      In course of a common program between the Byurakan
Astrophysical Observatory and the Konkoly Observatory on
searching flares in Pleiades three new flares were noted.
The observations were made on Kodak Oa-O emulsion with the
60/90/180 cm Schmidt-type telescope of the Konkoly Observatory
in the period 8-10 Oct. 1970 in 11 hours of effective 
observational time.
      Additionally a flare of the star H II 1094 was found
during the reexamination of the plates taken in 1969 with
the Schmidt telescope of the Konkoly Observatory.
      Table 1 and 2 summarize the data of the stars 
(position, brightness in minimum, amplitude and date of flare)
and the photographically measured magnitudes during the
flares respectively.
      It is to mention that flare no. 2 was independently
observed by dr. E. Parsamian using a 1,5deg objective-prism
(1800 A/mm at Hgamma) attached to the 40" Schmidt-type 
telescope of the Byurakan Observatory.
