     ADDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF VARIABLE STARS IN
       A GENERAL CATALOGUE OF COOL CARBON STARS



    A comparison of A General Catalogue of Cool Carbon Stars
(Stephenson, 1973) with the First, Second and Third Supplement
to the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (1971, 1974, 1976)
results in the correlations given in Table I. Carbon and variable
stars are considered identical if their positions agreed within
3' in declination and 12s sec delta in right ascension. The first
column gives the number in Stephenson's catalogue while the
second gives the variable designation. An asterisk after a CCS
number refers to a remark about this star which is placed after
the table.

                    REMARKS

CCS 519    A check with Stephenson (1965) reveals that the declination listed in
           the CCS is in error by exactly 10d. It should read +07d13'33".

CCS 3098   Although the positions of CCS 3098 and V1420 Cyg differ by 36 sec in
           right ascension, a check between the CCS and Alksnis and Alksne (9169)
           indicates that they are indeed the same object. Stephenson did indicate
           in his catalogue that the position of CCS 3098 is more uncertain than
           the quoted precision.
