Note:Search for long-period variable stars in an area of 28' x56' centered on alpha = 05h28m 50.7s, Dec = -69deg 37' 56" (B1950.0) using 19 I plates (IV N +RG715). The survey did not detect variables brighter than Ic about 12, due to saturation. All the variables found are marked on Fig. 1. Identif. charts for 62 LPV variables out of a longer list of stars.
