        SOME NEW FLARES IN THE PLEIADES REGION


In course of searching flares in the Pleiades seven flares were
observed in 12 hours of effective observational time in the period
from September 14, 1973 to March 16, 1974. All the stars flared
up are newly discovered flare stars. The observations were made
with a 60/90/180 cm Schmidt-telescope on 103a-O plates through a
UG_1 - 2 mm thick filter. The exposure time was 10 minutes on each
plate. The informations about our flares are summarized in the 
table. Figures Nos. 1-7 show the brigthnesses of the flares in course
of the time.
