In a program of systematic search for flare stars in clusters and associations we have carried out a photographic survey in the region of Praesepe. The previously obtained interesting results in the Pleiades cluster and the Orion association stimulated us to continue the work of Haro (1968) and Rosino (1966) in Praesepe. The importance of observations in this cluster is obvious if we consider the following circumstances:

  1. 1. Praesepe and Pleiades have nearly the same distance from the Sun, 160 and 125 pc, respectively.

  2. 2. There exists a difference in age between the 2 clusters of at least one order of magnitude.

  3. 3. The use of Schmidt telescopes allows observations in large cluster regions.

A great number of observational data are desirable for comparison of flare activity in the regions of Pleiades and Praesepe.
