Looking in the literature for short period variations of Ap stars, we found the puzzling case of HD 24975. Used as a comparison star by Weiss (1978), it had been found then to present variations with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.01 in U, B and V with a period of about 45mn, but with no clear correlation between the three passbands.

HD 24975 has the same spectral type A2 as 21 Com which seems to present photometric variations with P ⋍ 31mn and Δ V < 0,02m (Percy, 1973, 1975). Both stars are near the blue edge of the δ Scuti instability strip in the HR diagram. The lack of photo metric data, however, prevented the precise location of HD 24975 from being found on the HR diagram.
