Several biphasic compositions of the type $Y_{3-x}Ba_{3+x}Cu_6O_{14}$ show an onset of superconductivity in the 90-115K range, attaining zero resistance in the 70-85K range. The phase responsible for superconductivity in these compositions is a perovskite oxide of composition $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$. This oxide annealed in oxygen shows the onset of superconductivity at 120K and zero resistance at 87K. $YBa_2$, $Cu_3O_7$ shows the highest Meissner effect of all oxide superconductors. The superconducting behaviour of the two perovskite oxides, $Y_{0.95}Ba_{1.95}Cu_3O_7$ and $Y_{1.05}Ba_{1.95}Cu_3O_7$, show interesting features; a marked decrease in resistivity was observed from room temperature itself in the former oxide with zero resistance at 89K. Electron microscopy and infrared spectra of these oxides are briefly discussed.
