            MISIDENTIFICATION OF EY SGR



   In I.B.V.S. No. 2167 (1982), Caldwell and Coulson question
the variability of EY Sgr, a variable discovered by Cannon (1925).
They identify EY Sgr as one of a pair of stars (called A and B by
them), neither of which appear to vary.
   A comparison of the chart of Caldwell and Coulson with the
finding chart for EY Sgr published by Tsesevich and Kazanasmas (1971)
shows that the variable is neither A nor B, but a star slightly to
the south and ~5s west of that pair. An examination of Miss Cannon's
plates shows that the latter star does indeed vary.
   From Caldwell and Coulson's chart, the 1950 position of EY Sgr
is 19h 34m 35s, -12d 15.1'.
