Photometric observations have been made of 16 stars classified as constant, CST or CST:, in the General Catalog of Variable Stars. One star, U Tauri, was found to be a rapid irregular variable and three others may vary at a low level. In two cases, FV Delphini and FP Geminorum, the star identified as the variable on published finding charts is not variable but a nearby star did vary. It is suggested that the wrong stars were marked on the charts but the possibility remains that the variables may have exhibited constancy during earlier observations.
