NOTES: Unless otherwise stated, the "Reduced Magnitudes" in the plots are Cousins R, based on 2MASS to BVRI conversions (Warner, MPB 34, 113-119)

Originally reported in MPB 30, 61-64 with P = 6.722, A = 0.21, U = 2 (now 0). A revised period (P = 3.94 h) was pulished in MPB 32, 26. Remeasurement of the images using 2MASS to BVRI conversions (Warner, MPB 34, 113-119) gave the listed results.
