          TWO ERRONEOUS SUSPECTED VARIABLES



   Entries Nos. 1676 and 2138 appear in the 1951 Catalogue of
Stars Suspected of Variability in view of their inclusion in a
1906 abstract by Henrietta Leavitt. However, as reference to the
literature clearly shows, the objects actually referred to by
that distinguished student of variable stars were CPD -59d3809
(=SV Centauri) and CoD -49d6972 (=SW Centauri) rather than, as
stated, CPD -50d3809 and CPD -49d6972. Presumably these latter
two stars are now, in fact, "beyond suspicion".
