Abstract
NEW VARIABLE.—Prof. Lewis Boss, in Gould's Astronomical Journal, No. 160, draws attention to the star DM. + 3° No. 766. Its magnitude in the DM. is given as 9.2m., and Argelander, who observed it twice with the Bonn meridian circle, gave it the same magnitude in the “Bonner Beobachtungen.” Prof. Boss, however, was unable to find it with the Albany meridian circle in 1880 and 1881, but has since picked it up with the 13-inch equatorial of the Observatory as an 11.5m. star. It would therefore appear to be either a “temporary” star or a variable of long period.
