      VARIABLE STAR IN EE CEPHEI COMPARISON SEQUENCE

The star BD +55deg2691 is included (as star c) in the comparison 
sequence of the system EE Cephei (Romano, G., 1956, Coelum 24,
135; Meinunger, L., 1976, M.V.S., 7, 97). During the observations
of this system small light variations of the c star were obtained.
Using the photodensitometric reductions of the plates taken during 
the 1969 EE Cep minimum (Baldinelli, L., Ghedini, S., Tubertini,
C., 1975, I.B.V.S. No. 1009) we have found for the c star the value
listed below:

   Column m_ph contains photographic magnitudes with a mean
error of 0.07m. The material used is Ilford Zenith Astronomical
with 10 minutes exposures. The observations were carried out at
the "G. Horn D'Arturo" observatory at Bologna.
  The list shows a 0.5m mean variation of BD +55deg2691. At present 
we are observing photoelectrically the star to find out the
kind of variation and an eventual period.
