        FIVE MORE VARIABLE STARS IN NGC 6402


   Twelve new variable stars in NGC 6402 (M14) were recently
discovered and announced (1) as a result of investigating those
stars which were known to fall in the variable star gap. The
plates which were used in that earlier study have now been blinked
and five more variables found.

   In the table below, the coordinates x and y were measured
using the system of reference originally used by Helen Sawyer
(2). The B magnitudes were determined using standards given in
Demers and Wehlau (3). Since most of these variables are not seen
at maximum on the few plates available, the values given in the
table for maximum are probably low.
