No other variation in region
[[margin]] Note March 12. The evidence of variation in this star is not clear. [[underline]] probably [[/underline]] variable [[/margin]] 
Star [[underline]] 31 [[/underline]] certainly varies but is difficult to estimate on most plates.  The variation is probably less than a ^[[half a]] magnitude.  It is fairly well seen on plate A2156 and A3429
  Star [[strikethrough]] [[underline]] a [[/underline]] ^[[32,]] [[/strikethrough]]^[[38]] is certainly decidedly faint on one plate ^[[A5731]] though usually the same. On Mr. Robert's plate taken Feb. 4, 1889 Vol. 1 p. 59)it is bright. Also on his plate taken Jan. 15, 1896 it appears to be bright. On the plate taken Dec. 24,1888 it is as usual on the Bruce plates
Note [[underline]] March 12 [[/underline]] The evidence does not appear certain.  This star had better go on the suspected list.

Variables in Orion continued
New Region Compared With A3429
Plate 2156 - No variables seen in region [[image -star plot with 40,1903 identified]]
Plate X5225 no variables seen in region
Examination of the twelve plates shows none but minor fluctuations in light of stars in the region.

There is so much fluctuation of light, apparently, that it is difficult at this stage to decide fully which stars vary.
