The photographic magnitudes of 8 comparison stars were carefully determined by means of sequences of steps froin 10 plates.

New variable star 1'7.1903 Lyrae. RA. = 18~39~373, Decl. = +34"31!4 (1855).

This variable is very easily found, as it lies nearly exactly midway between the two stars BD. +34?3301 and 3303 (8.7 and 9 .2 mag. respectively). Its approximate po- sition, according to measures of two photographs taken with a 4.4-inch portrait lens, is stated above. The photographic magnitudes of 8 comparison stars were carefully determined

by means of sequences of steps froin 10 plates. In the adopted scale the photographic magnitude of BD. +34?3301 is 8.90; that of BD. +34?3300 is 10.53; and that of a star about 3112' preceding, and a little south of, BD.+34?3303 is I 1 .71 . The photographic brightness of the variable on the scale above indicated at the different dates is given below.

The observations of 1900 indicate a well defined maximum on Oct. 2 3 of that year. With the help of the photographic light curve it may also be inferred that a maximum occurred roughly somewhere about 1901, Oct. 6. The resulting period of about 348 days is in accordance with the above observations, if it be assumed that in 1899

the maximum occurred in between the two observations. At the present time (1903 May 12) the star is visually faint, being about I I ~ / ~ mag. or fainter. According to the above mentioned period of 348 days (and epoch 1900, Oct. 23) the next maximum should occur on 1903, Sept. 2.
