Abstract
A NEW SOUTHERN STAR.—Prof. Krueger has received a telegram from Prof. E. C. Pickering to the effect that a new star was discovered by Mrs. Fleming on October 26. Its Right Ascension is given as 230° 34′, and its North Polar Distance = 140° 14′. The magnitude on July 10 = 7˙0. No further details have been received, but from the date for which the magnitude is given it is probable that the star was detected by Mrs. Fleming upon a photographic plate taken in July. The telegram has been communicated to the observatories in the southern hemisphere.
