   As a typical SS Cyg-type dwarf nova with a short outburst cycle length,
X Leo shows long and short (often alternating) outbursts.

   "Typical" outburst durations (defined here periods brighter than 13.5)
estimated from recent vsnet-obs reports:

1997 Jan. 13 - 16       3 days
     Jan. 30 - Feb. 5   6 days
     Mar. 7 - 10        3 days
     Mar. 19 - 21       2 days
     Apr. 3 - 11        8 days
