            CONCERNING VARIABLE 14 IN M5


      There has been some recent confusion concerning the
identification of variable 14 in M5. This has arisen because
of a misprint in an article by Bailey (1917). The star 
labelled as variable 14 in his photograph of the cluster is
not, in fact, variable. Variable 14 lies about 20 seconds
of arc to the east of it. Oosterhoff (1941) has noted this
error.
      Therefore Arp's (1962) standard star II-51 is not
the same star as V14 and so the remarks of Osborn (1971)
not apply.
