          TWO NEW VARIABLE STARS NEAR CHI URSAE MAJORIS

   Ten pairs of 13 plates taken with the 67 cm Schmidt telescope of Asiago
Observatory in the field around chi Ursae Majoris have been compared with the
stereoscopic method and two new variable stars (not listed in the General
Catalogue of Variable Stars and Supplements and in the Catalogue of Suspected
Variable Stars) have been discovered.
   The material examined (54 plates) cover the period between January 1966
and December 1982. On the basis of our observations it is not possible to
derive the elements of these variables.
   The position (1950) and the characteristics of these stars are:

GR 313 RA= 11h53m06s , D=+49d11.0'   max=15.9, min=17.5, type=RR Lyr
GR 314 RA= 11h54m34s , D=+48d45.0'   max=16.4, min=17.7, type=RR Lyr.

   Figure 1 shows the identification chart (B light) of GR 313 and GR 314.
