        NEW VARIABLE STARS IN THE FIELD AROUND MV LYRAE


A further survey of the 6d X 6d field centered on MV Lyrae, previously 
examined by G. Romano (IBVS No645) on the material obtained
with the 67/90/210 cm Schmidt telescope of Asiago, has led to the
discovery of four new variable stars (GR 306, 307, 308, 309).
The position 1950.0 of these stars and their characteristics are
listed in Table I. The magnitudes are B.

An intercomparison blue-infrared shows that the variables GR 306
and GR 307 are bluish, while GR 308 and 309 are very red.
The finding chart is represented in Figure 1 (15' of side, north
in the top).
