              NEW FLARES IN THE PLEIADES


  In course of searching flares in the Pleiades ten new flares
were observed in 28 hours of effective observational time in the
period from September 6, 1972 to March 7, 1973. Among the stars
flared up seven new flare stars were discovered. The observations
were made on 103a-O plates without or with UG1-1 mm filter (12.4
hours and 15.6 hours, respectively). The exposure time was 4 
minutes on the direct plates and 10 minutes on the UV plates. The
necessary informations about our flares are summarized in the 
Table. Figures Nos 1 - 10 show the brightnesses of the flares in
course of the time.
