             SIX NEW VARIABLE STARS IN TAURUS


    On 15 plates obtained with the 65/90/210 cm Schmidt telescope
of the Asiago Astrophysical Observatory six new variable stars have
been discovered by stereoscopic comparisons. The period of observation 
is from 1967 September 29 to 1968 November 23. Besides to the
fifteen plates 103a-O, six IN plates with RG5 filter have been 
examined.
    The finding charts of the new variables are shown in the Figure 
(north at the top, area 15'x15'); position and characteristics
of the stars are given in Table I while their observed photographic
magnitudes are reported in Table II. All the variable stars belong
probably to the T Tauri class.
    In infrared all of the stars show variations and in particular
GR 270 presents some important fluctuations of light.
