        THREE LONG-PERIOD VARIABLES IN SAGITTARIUS


     On the basis of over 500 observations on Nantucket plates
taken between 1956 and 1975, the periods of two new variables have
been determined and the period for one previously known one slightly 
revised. The last two columns of the Table give the initials of
the person who discovered the variable followed by the initials of
the one who determined the period: MB, Mary Brewster; DC, Deborah
Carmichael; DH, D. Hoffleit; and PO, Pamela Owensby. In the finder
charts for the new variables the bright star A is CoD -29d14752 and
B is CoD -24d14640. The middle chart (approximately 10' x 10) is for
V1701 Sgr which is approximately 20' following and 33'. South of the
center of the globular cluster M22.
