Positions, light curves, and spectral parameters are cataloged for ten variable X-ray sources observed during the first two years of operation of the rotation modulation collimator (RMC) experiment aboard Ariel V. These sources include A0026+59 in Cassiopeia, A0535+26 in Taurus, A1118-61 in Centaurus, A1244-60 and A1246-58 in Crux, A1710-34 and A1744-36 in Scorpius, as well as A1742-289 and A1742-294 at the galactic center. It is noted that A1244-60 was detected for only half a day and that flaring activity observed from A1246-58 on two days occurred after the source had brightened steadily over the previous few days. The position of the source A1524-61 is estimated with an error of 2.0 arcmin in declination at the 90% conficence level.
