       ON TWO UNSTUDIED VARIABLE STARS IN ANDROMEDA
          FI And = S 9498 and FM And S 9504


   Hoffmeister is the discoverer of S 9498 and S 9504 (Astr.
Nachr. Bd. 289. 205). RR Lyrae-type was suspected (13m-14m ph
and 14m-14.5m ph).
   On 125 and respectively 108 plates taken with the 40 cm
astrograph of Sonneberg Observatory I examined these variable
stars and obtained the following elements:

                V 384 Cas

V 384 Cas = BV 298 was discovered by Strohmeier, Knigge,
in 1960 (11.8m-12.5m ph)(Veroff. Sternwarte Bamberg V. 5).
Satanova, E.A. observed 3 minima and gave the first 
elements (Astr.Circ. 216, 1960):

Min.= J.D. 2436083.467 + 5.595d . E (EA)

On 249 sky patrol plates of Sonneberg Observatory  I
examined the light variations  (J.D. 2435391-40205) and obtained
the new elements :

Min.=J.D.2436073.516 + 1.108273d . E  (EA)
