In the MISAO Project database, the variability of Q0657+26
(=Q1994/016?) and Q1995/021 were discovered. But because they have
been already reported as possible variable stars and had the "name",
we made no announcement on the discoveries and simply reported the
magnitude to the VSNET in the Q-number name.

Mike Collins told me that the variability of Q0657+26 has been already
pointed out by himself, so we should not apply it MisV number as well.
I think we can use the "Q0657+026" name because it is the name in
Mike's list.

But in case of Q1995/021, now I think we should apply a MisV number
for it and make an announcement as one of our new variable stars,
because the "Q1995/021" name is only in the TA's secret (not
recommended to report to the public database) list.

Best regards,
