                                   ABSTRACT

    Finding charts, accurate coordinates, and light curves are presented
    for 106 variable stars including 6 which are newly discovered.
    Parameters descriptive of the light curves are tabulated including
    periods for 16 stars which lacked them.  The periods from the General
    Catalog of Variable Stars for ten 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 Stars are suggested for 20 stars and classifications are given
    for 7 which were previously unclassified.  15%-23% of the Bailey type
    ab RR Lyrae stars show scatter in their light curves which is
    suggestive of the Blazhko effect.
