          NEW FLARE STARS IN THE gamma CYGNI REGION




 This paper presents the results of systematic observations of the gamma Cygni
region according to the programme of regular search for flare stars in 
different stellar aggregates. We obtained 123 plates with effective time 116^h
between April and October 1981 with the 20in/28in Schmidt-telescope of the
National Astronomical Observatory at Rojen.
 The multiple exposure plates were made on ORWO ZU21 emulsion through a
Schott UG2 filter.
 Six new flare stars were discovered.
 Table I gives the data for flare stars: the serial number of the flare
stars (we continue the designations of flare stars that was begun in our
previous paper (Tsvetkova (1980)); coordinates for 1950.0; the approximate
minimum brightness in U-light; the observed amplitude of flares in U-light
and the date of the flare up.

 x^ The flare star R8 has shown 2 flares, it is situated in the nebulosity
IC 1318b.

  Taking into account of the known data on flare stars in the gamma Cygni
region (Melikian et al. (1980), Tsvetkova (1980) and present paper) the lower
limit of the total number of flare stars in this region according to
Ambartsumian's formulae (Ambartsumian et al.(1970)) is equal to 98.
