Scientific paper

Finding charts, accurate coordinates and light curves are presented for 146 variable stars including three which are newly discovered. Parameters descriptive of the light curves are tabulated including periods for eight stars which lacked them in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (the GCVS). GCVS periods of twelve stars were found to be seriously in error. The classification of the stars is discussed. Revisions or refinements of the classifications from the General Catalogue of Variable of Stars are suggested for thirty-one stars. Of the nineteen stars classified as Bailey type c RR Lyrae stars in the General Catalogue of Variable Stars, five are found to be short period eclipsing or ellipsoidal variables. Seventeen percent of the Bailey type ab RR Lyrae stars and 14% of the type c's show scatter in their light curves which is suggestive of the Blazhko effect.
