         On the Cross-Identification of V577 CrA and V607 CrA


    During the course of a program conducted to improve the coordinates of both
confirmed and suspected variable stars located in the southern hemisphere (see Lopez and
Girard 1990), a number of erroneous cross-identifications or multiple designations have
been found. For a complete list of such cases see Kazarovets (1991), Lopez ( 1989), and
Lopez and Girard (1990).
    In this note, we want to call attention to two "old" variable stars in the CrA region,
namely V577 CrA and V607 CrA. These two objects are identified with NSV 10726 and
NSV 10829, respectively.
    The cross-index below, which follows the format used in the variable star name-
lists should be adopted:


        V577 CrA =146(3513) = S 7853 (4001) = NSV 10726
        V607 CrA =164(3513) = S 8863 (3776) = NSV 10829


    Clearly, these two NSV stars should be deleted from the NSV Catalogue for they
already have a final designation as confirmed variables, given in variable star name-list
number 56 (Kukarkin et al. 1970).
