Discovery of periodic brightenings
in the B variable HD 6226

Received: 1997 July 21

Today, Hrvoje Bozic and I submitted for publication in A&A (1998, A&A, 330, 222) a short paper in which we report our discovery of a little studied B variable HD 6226 for which we found occasional, and possibly regular brightenings for about 0.2 mag. in V. We suspect that the brightenings could re-appear with a period of 481 d and I decided to alert readers after I realized that if we are right, the next brightening should occur literary these days, centred on 1997 August 2.
