   S 10764 - A SLOWLY VARIABLE OBJECT IN THE GLOBULAR
           CLUSTER M3 WITH U-B~~-1.0m


   On plates taken with the Tautenburg 134 cm Schmidt
telescope I discovered a slowly varying object S 10764
which highly probably is a physical member of M3.

   Coordinates (1855.0): 13h35m29s +29d13'

   By comparison with the standards of Johnson and
Sandage (ApJ 124, p. 379) the following limits of the variations 
were measured:

             U      B     V
   -------------------------
   maximum 17.3   18.3  17.9
   minimum 18.8   19.8  18.9
   -------------------------

   For further details see next number of MVS.
   Figure 1 shows the new variable in its surroundings;
in figure 2 the positions of the star in the V/B-V diagram 
(l.c.) are given.
   I thank the staff of the Karl-Schwarzschild-Observatorium 
Tautenburg for lending their plates.

           VISUAL OBSERVATIONS OF EV LACERTAE


  The flare star EV Lac was observed visually for a total
of 13.3 hours during the September 1972 international 
programme by members of the Variable Star Section of the 
British Astronomical Association. Hours of coverage are given
below, parentheses indicating poor sky conditions.
