Remarks:
Details are presented for twenty-five Mira variables found by investigation of ASAS-3 V lightcurves (Pojmanski 2002). Amplitudes and periods were derived from ASAS-3 V data. Astrometric positions were taken from the 2MASS catalogue (Skrutskie et al. 2006); spectral information was derived from the Catalogue of Stellar Spectral Classifications (Skiff 2010). Near-infrared color indices from the 2MASS catalogue are presented in the Comments, together with identifications from the HST Guide Star Catalogue (Version 1.2; Morrison et al. 2001).

All objects were checked against the Strasbourg CDS Vizier service and the International Variable Star Index for pre-existence in variability catalogues.
