We have obtained photometric observations and radial velocities of the F6I-IIb star HR 7308. The spectral type, the period (1d.49), the relative range and phase of light, colour and velocity variations all suggest that the star is a small-amplitude Cepheid. The metal abundance appears to be normal. However, the light amplitude decreased slowly during 1978 from 0m.3 to 0m.1, and increased during 1979 and 1980 from 0m.05 to 0m.15. Such behaviour is unprecedented in a population I Cepheid.
