| contents | We report evidence from eclipse timing that two otherwise apparently normal cataclysmic variables have experienced abrupt changes in their orbital periods. The orbital period of HS 2325+8205 increased by 22.15 msec (1.3 x 10-6 of the orbital period) around 1 February 2011 and the orbital period of EP Dra increased by 4.51 msec (7.2 x 10-7 of the orbital period) around 7 December 2001. In neither case was there any apparent change in the subsequent behaviour of the system. These changes are currently unexplained. |
