Description:
The printed version of this paper describes the X-ray and optical
properties of four new active galaxies discovered in the ROSAT All-Sky
Survey. While one object (RX J1257.5+2412) is identified as a BL Lac
object, the other three (RX J1239.3+2431, RX J1225.7+2055, and RX
J1250.2+1923) are narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies. Three of these four
objects are bright enough to be studied on archival photographic
plates of Sonneberg Observatory. The present list contains the
individual brightness measurements of these objects all of which
turned out to be variable on timescales of weeks to years. Some
lightcurves (long-term as well as short-term) are given in the printed
version.

Note (1): No entry in the comment column means an accurate
brightness estimate (error of ±0.08 mag), while the five
different signs have the following meanings:
< denotes an upper limit,
: denotes a slightly increased error (±0.14 mag),
:: denotes an increased error (±0.20 mag),
? denotes an uncertain measurement,
?? denotes a doubtful measurement.
