COMET JENSEN-SHOEMAKER (1987g1)
The comet reported on E-94, was independently found by P.Jensen on
an earlier exposure by K.Augustesen at the Copenhagen Brorfelde
Station and is thus re-designated.

RZ LEONIS
Further observations of the outburst mentioned on E-92:
Nov 28.735UT, 12.7 (R.McNaught,Siding Spring); 29.13, 12.9
(J.Isles, Cyprus); 30.09, 12.9(Isles).
In addition to the 1918 and 1984 outbursts already mentioned, the
star is also bright on the Palomar Sky Survey I.
Following the 1984 Dec 29 observation by Ducoty, the star was seen
by Scovil on 1985 Jan 9 at 13.0 and this suggests that coverage
should be continued to establish the full extent of the maximum.
