SAOC 160077
     V. Vanysek, Astronomical Institute, Charles University, Prague,
reports that Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Catalog star no.
160077 is not in its catalog position on his plates or the Palomar
Atlas.  Mrs. K. Haramundanis, SAO, notes that the SAOC position is
taken from the Yale catalog.  On comparison with other catalogs
and the Palomar Atlas, it appears that the Yale and SAOC positions
are approximately 10' too far south in declination.
