Cristescu, Gh. Bocsa, and V. Ionescu (Bucharest Observatory) Communicated by Ionescu. T. Seki (Kochi Observatory) A. Mrkos ( Klet Observatory) 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. 1970 August 19 (2273) Richard B. Southworth
