Description:
    We report on a large sample of homogeneous photoelectric data obtained
    by monitoring the red dwarf flare star EV Lac. The data were collected
    in 10 years (1967-77) at Catania Astrophysical Observatory on Mt.
    Etna. The peak luminosity, the total energy emitted, the rise and
    decay times were measured for each flare.
