Jan. 2, 1851. 
Dec. 23, 1851. 
For previous observations see Transactions, Part II. 1850. 
Sept. 13, 1850. Large spiral fuR of knots ; to nf. is a S. neb. B, which on a very good night 
might appear attached to spiral, than which it is brighter. Oct. 11 , 1850. Spiral 
arrangement not clearly seen. Nov. 27, 1850. Arms of spiral scarcely seen ; fog. 
Nov. 30, 1850. Spiral form very indistinet ; wind very high from s. Oct. 22, 1851. 
Viewed for drawing, I should not have seen the spiral arrangement had I not observed 
it before. Oct. 25, 1851. Neby. extends for several minutes aU roimd, perhaps for 
half a degree in radius. Oct. 29, 1851. Observed for drawing. Dec.14,1851. Sketched. 
Dec. 26, 1851. Drawn. Dec. 7, 1855. This neb. reaches in length through at least 
a field and a half of finder eyepiece. Mr. Stoney’s drawing leaves out a great deal of 
the neby. about the centre, and # suspected to left of centre of the trapezium of 
#s, perhaps others also. Nov. 15, 1857. There are 3 #s about the principal nucleiis. 
Dec. 7, 1857. CarefuUy observed, with a view to a new sketch. Dec. 18, 1857. Care- 
fully observed, and my sketch proceeded with. See fig. 10, Plate XXVI. 
Nov. 28, 1856. B; S; R. nucleus, a # p. and another n. 
Nov. 29, 1850. A S. neb. or cl. with 3 *s in it. JR 1** 26™. N.P.D. 60° 35'. 
Oct. 26, 1854. Both S; R; B. 
Sought for four times ; not found. 
Dec. 13, 1848. Rough sketch made. Spiral? Dec. 14, 1848. 
Confirmed last night’s observation ; feel confident it is a 
spiral. Oct. 24, 1851. Centre formed of *s ; easily seen 
to be such ; several *s through the neb. 
Oct. 3, 1856. vS ; F ; R ; bM ; had a * close to n. edge. 
Nov. 30, 1856. S; R; bM. to a nucleus.
