Abstract:
   Visual observations are given which are made by members of the Variable
   Star Section of the Dutch Association for Astronomy and Meteorology 
   (NVWS). The observations were made using the fractional method and charts
   of the AAVSO. The observations are arranged as follows: for each star the
   observations are headed by the Harvard number, the name and the type. The
   first element of each column represents the Julian Date (minus 2440000),
   the second one the visual estimate and the third one the observer 
   (AAVSO-code). All the observations have been processed on a BBC and Atari
   ST microcomputer using a homemade software package.
