An abstract has appeared: Ringwald, F. A. 1993, PASP, 105, 805, "The Cataclysmic
Variables from the Palomar-Green Survey". The various chapters should appear as
papers in the MNRAS in the next year. In the meantime, would you like me to send
you a copy of the thesis? It would be easy for me to do, and would save time.
What is your postal address?

No, although it could be just a mistake. With 1874 objects, it would surprise me
if the PG catalog did not have at least a few mistakes. I will send e-mail to
Richard Green, who is very helpful and a good friend, and ask him.
On the other hand, it is possible this may be an eclipse. This would be a
valuable find, since this star is so bright. It would therefore be a good idea
for Mr. Moriyama to continue observing it, then. An intensive time-resolved
campaign, over a few days, would also be interesting.
