Abstract
THE above star, so called by Schmidt in the Astr. Nach., No. 2421, is now a striking object of 8 magnitude. On December 21, last year, it was certainly not over 12, and, probably, it was less. This appeared about its minimum, and its maximum seemed to have been attained on June 6, when it was 8 mag., as at present. On May 22, when I first found it, it was about 9. If it is now at maximum, there must be a striking inequality in its periods of decrease and increase, but perhaps it will go on to a greater magnitude this time than before.
