The astrometric positions of the planet Pluto in the years 1971 to 1974 have been derived from 41 plates taken with the 67/92 cm Schmidt telescope. The precision of the positions, which are referred to an average number of 24 AGK3 stars, is 0.6 arc sec in right ascension and 0.4 arc sec in declination. A comparison is made between these results and the astrometric positions computed by Kaplan, Seidelmann and Smith. Good agreement is found, with a possible systematic difference of 0.6 arc sec in declination.
