Abstract
THIS star, which I found on May 22 only 9 magnitude (see NATURE, vol. xxiv. p. 164), progressively increased up to 8 m. on June 6, and is now again no more than 9. Its deep crimson colour is unchanged. It is 2° 51′·7 north of α Cygni, and forms, with three other stars, the southern end of a little inverted and irregular cross. It will probably decrease to complete disappearance, at least from telescopes of moderate power.
