reached the Harvard College Observatory
that Madame Ceraski had discovered a
new variable-her first-in Cygnus. an ex-
animation was made by the Draper Me-

found which covered the region in which
the star lay. On the most of these plates,
which extended over period Of nine years,
the star was at its normal brightness; on
few. below its normal brightness. From
comparison Of the plates the star was
found to be a variable of the Algol type
