[[start page]] [[preprinted]] 26 [[/preprinted]] February 2, 1904 Wolf's Variables in Orion continued. Plate A2119 continued [[underline]]87[[/underline]] No definite var. found, but a star [[underline]][[strikethrough]]88[[/strikethrough]][[/underline]] marked on A3429 appears to be brighter than usual. It is not the star mentioned on page 20 and marked ? on plate, but one following. I think that this star was probably bright on B8891, instead of the other one being faint, as I supposed. The variation seen is less than half a magnitude. [[underline]]88[[/underline]] No var. seen. Near edge. Images poor. Faintest stars n.s. 89 No var. seen. Near edge. Images poor. Faintest stars n.s. [[margin]] Not right position. = 81d = 24 [[/margin]] [[underline]]Note[[/underline]] I find that the position of 81 was not rightly marked in the plate. The star I observed as 81 appears to be Wolf's "37, 190'3" [[strikethrough]]81a[[/strikethrough]]2 (The variable found near 81 does not appear to be in the list of Wolf's stars. Also the stars [[strikethrough]]83a[[/strikethrough]]1 and [[strikethrough]] 84a[[/strikethrough]]23 do not appear to be on his list. Note [[underline]] February 19[[/underline]] Star 2 is noticeably faint on plate 5731 and unquestionably brighter on 2156. Other plates are not sufficiently clear for reliance to be placed upon their testimony. There is little doubt that there is a real variation of half a magnitude.

I find two stars less than 1' apart, both of which vary noticeably - they do not appear to be noted in Prof. Wolf's list.
