Summary
The following list has been compiled with some care; but variable star information is often of questionable authenticity, the accounts of different observers being quite as variable as the stars themselves, or even more so. This list will, it is ioped, be found to be the most complete ever published, special pains having been taken to make it so: as amateurs, having time and instruments at their command, may render good service by looking after these objects. The letter D appended to the name of a star signifies that its position is given for some other epoch than 1860: the symbol < signifies that the star's minimum magnitude fell below that given; but how much, is unknown.
