Nov. 22, 1854. pB ; vS ; R. 
Dec. 22, 1848. 3 neb. in line, 2 of them “ novae.” Oct. 23, 1856. 1st is B ; pB ; bM ; 
and has nncleus ; 2nd bM ; E, * involved ; 3rd F ; IE ; bM. 
Nov. 22, 1854. S; B; bM. 
Sept. 18, 1857. S ; pB. disc, in vF. haze of mottled neby. 
Oct. 3, 1856. 69 is S; B; B; with B. nncleus; 70 is F; E. and patchy. I sometimes 
thought it was formed of two knots involved in F. neby ; there appears to be a nebu- 
lous connexion between them aU. Nov. 15, 1857. The silvered mirror shows the 
object brighter than before, but no new details ; definition bad. 
Suspect spirality ; hght uneqiial. 
Oct. 26, 1854. a F. object with two nuclei. 
Nov. 29, 1850. a is vlbM ; /I has stellar point or nucleus. I suspect J to he a F. neb.

Oct. 26, 1854. Lenticular n. and s. Thought I saw a * at times in centre (1-^-inch single 
lens) ; a Ip. this is another vF. ray, np, sf, and which has no nucleus. Oct. 16, 1855.

Oct. 23, 1856. F. ray has nucleus and a * in n. end. Sept. 18, 1857. E. n. and s ;

Dec. 11, 1854. vmE ; bM (speculum dewed). 
A variety of new nebulae found, but observations too voluminous to transcribe. 
Sketch made, but no interesting details. Nov. 30, 1850. vF, and p. a quadruple #. Oct. 
23, 1851. 3 *s f. neb. ; light unequal. Sept. 16, 1852. 2' diameter ; several *8 
in it ; probably a F. cl. 
This should be, I think, 0^. AS. d. neh. suspected below at a'.
