\title{NSV\,11164 = Minor Planet (563) Suleika}

\begintext

In the {\it New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars} (Kholopov
{\it et al.}, 1982), it is suggested that NSV\,11164 is a minor planet.
An investigation by the current author shows that NSV\,11164 is the
minor planet (563) Suleika.

The original report of NSV\,11164 is by Innes (1917a), who located
the object, numbered 123 in his list, during a survey of variable stars
near R Coronae Austrinae.  Innes 123 appears only on a single 60-minute
plate, taken by H.\ E.\ Wood on 1915 Aug.\ 6, where it is recorded as
being magnitude 14.8.  Further details are given in Innes (1917b), where
it is stated that the sole image is a `good stellar image'.  It is here
that the remark `Is only image found.  Minor pl.?' appears.

An addendum to the initial report remarks that a further plate, a 30-minute
exposure by Wood on 1915 Aug. 3, had become available and that comparison
of this plate and the plate of Aug.\ 6 proved that three of the objects
identified initially as variable stars were actually minor planets.  Innes
(1917a) made identifications as follows: Innes 111 = (22) Calliope;
132 = (9) Metis; and 134 = (267) Tirza.  The first two identifications are
confirmed as correct, but Innes 134 is in reality (131) Vala.

The time of exposure of the Aug.\ 6 plate was not given by Innes.  Wood (1917)
later reported precise measurements of the three recognised minor planets
from both the Aug.\ 3 and 6 plates, repeating the misidentification of (131)
as (267) and giving the times of mid-exposure as 1915 Aug.\ 3.78722 UT and
Aug.\ 6.79426 UT.

Table 1 gives the original-equinox measurements for the four Innes objects
that are minor planets; Table 2 lists the corresponding J2000.0
coordinates.  Table 3 lists the predicted J2000.0 minor-planet coordinates
and visual magnitudes for 1915 Aug.\ 6.79426 UT.
