Abstract
THE NEW ALGOL-TYPE VARIABLE.—Mr. Chandler has been able (Gould's Astronomical Journal, No. 150) to secure some further observations of this star, which, so far as they go, tend to confirm the hypothesis of a period of about three days. Minima were observed on January 2 and 11, but these were inconclusive as to the period. The star was, however, observed on January 12, between 17h. 15h. and 18h. 5m., to be apparently of its normal maximum brilliancy, whereas the first rough elements formed would have given a minimum at 17h. 50m., had the period been 1.4992d. or 0.7496d. Further observations are much desired. It unfortunately happens, from the star's period being very closely commensurable with the mean solar day, that further observations of minima will be scarcely possible in Northern Europe or Eastern North America for many months.
