The periodic light variability of HZ 29 (= AM CVn) discovered in 1962 by SMAK (1967) was subsequently studied in detail by OSTRIKER and HESSER (1968; hereinafter referenced as OH). The observations of SMAK were confirmed to the blue and ultraviolet light and those of OSTRIKER and HESSER to the integrated light; these revealed light variations in the form of a slightly distorted double sinusoid. This distortion manifests itself that the alternate maxima are broader and, consequently, the alternate minima occur near phase 0.54 P (when phases are counted from minima preceding broader maxima). The over-all amplitude of light oscillations is between 0.02 and 0.05 mag., the period, as determined by OH, is 1051.118 ±0.015 sec.
