British Association Catalogue, of Stars, 209 



Twelve numbers marked as nebulae were examined, viz. : — 



2511 4485 



2766 5040 



3247 5300 



3547 5470 



3692 6201 



3944 7457 



and were found to be clusters of small stars, more or less 

 dense. Of these, five contained a star sufficiently conspi- 

 cuous to be identified by the two instruments, but the places 

 of the remaining seven could not be accurately fixed. 



The places of 1440 numbers were recorded. Of these, by 

 far the greater part were observed four times or upwards, and 

 only a very few less than three times ; which arose either from 

 the object being too faint for our instruments, unless under un- 

 usually favourable atmospheric conditions, or else from the 

 numbers following so thickly in right ascension that they 

 could not all be observed so often without waiting for another 

 year. 



The following thirteen numbers have companions, whose 

 places have been entered in the Catalogue, viz. : — 



776 3118 5673 



1728 4513 6579 



1752 4558 6984 



2511 5111 7963 

 3067 



Eighteen more have also companions, more or less distant, 

 whose places have been approximately fixed, and set down in 

 the notes accompanying the Catalogue, viz. : — 



13 2687 7483 



450 2738 7631 



936 6132 7810 (H. and S. 343) 



1712 6163 8101 



1752 7327 8253

Four more are noted as double, but without fixing the compa- 

 nions, viz. : —
