Abstract
WOLF'S NOVA OF OCTOBER 1925.—Dr. W. H. Steavenson noted, at the meeting of the British Astronomical Association on May 26, that this object in Aquila increased slightly in brightness during the last two months of 1925, attaining mag. 8.7. Recent observations show that it is still of mag. 9, so that the decline is very slight. He suggested that the object is not a Nova but a normal star which has hitherto been hidden by a nebulous cloud from which it has just emerged. Its behaviour is so unusual that it deserves careful watching. Plates taken a few years ago show no trace of it, though they include stars of mag. 15.
