             NEW VARIABLE STARS IN LYRA


A survey for variable stars in the field centered in RA=19h04m; D=+43deg has
been carried out with the Schmidt telescope 65/90/210 cm of the Asiago
Astrophysical Observatory. Sixteen new variables have been discovered. This
communication reports some short notices on these stars.

The following Table 1 gives coordinates (1900), approximate photographic
magnitudes at maximum and minimum and probable type. In Figure 1 are given
the identification charts 5' of side, north in the top). During the research
the suspect variable 8152 of the Kukarkin Catalogue (Kukarkin et al. 1965)
has been also examined and has shown a variation between 13.2 and <18.6 mpg.
The star is probably a long period variable.
