              NONVARIABILITY OF 59 PSC


	59 Psc (=HR 214) was reported to be a Delta Scuti variable
by Gupta and Bhatnagar (IBVS 751,1972), who found a period of
2 1/2 hours and an amplitude of about 0.04 mag. This period seems
to be in reasonable agreement with the expected period derived
from the luminosity and color of the star. The two light curves
published seem convincing to us. We have recently started a program 
at the University of Mexico to determine multiple periods
for Delta Scuti stars with amplitudes larger than 0.03 mag. This
star, therefore, seemed to be an excellent candidate.
	59 Psc was observed photoelectrically in the visual region
for two nights at the Observatorio de Astronomia Nacional in
Baja California. No variability could be found and the star 
appeared to be constant to 0.002 mag on both occasions. Furthermore,
the residuals were random and were similar to those for the 
comparison stars. Further observational details are given below. It
should be interesting to determine the behavior of this star at a
later date.
