‘ novae near. 
Oct. 26, 1854. Has a * at n. extremity ; E. np. by sf ; HerscheTs d. * nf. is triple. 
Jan. 15, 1855. The conspicuous * involved in n. end of neb. has a F. comp ; nf. 
itself very distinct with l|-mch single lens. 
3 neb. nearly in a Line; one “nova”; IstpL; F; E; 2ndpF; E; 3rd didl nucleus. 
Sketched twice. Appears to be a spiral, but evidence not quite satisfactory. See fig. 9,

4 neb. (3 “novae”) ; one of them is E. 
Jan. 13, 1858. B. centre ; F. neby. stretches out a long way, involving a minute # p.

Looked for seven times. Not found. 
Dec. 11, 1850. A S. comp. p. and a d. * n. Jan. 10, 1858. Looks like a F. haze enve- 
loping 3 #s. 
Large loose cl. 
Close d. neb. 
Dec. 28, 1856. Neat little cl; its centre consists of about 40 or 50 #s; the outlying #s 
are arranged in curved branches. 
Nov. 29, 1848. Saw a multitude of *s and some iinresolved neb. 
Looked for four times ; not found, but nights bad. 
Sketch not quite satisfactory.

Dec. 28, 1856. Looks like a # in vF. neb. atmosphere. IE. p. and f. 
(Neb. of Orion.) Account of detailed observations postponed, as in 50 and 357. 
Observations recorded in the ‘Transactions’ for 1850 fully confirmed. 
Nov. 30, 1850. The luminous appearance extends about 15' aU round the *. 
Oct. 23, 1851. r; I strongly suspect it is annular. 
Feb. 9, 1852. Spiral arrangement .srifficiently seen to confirm former observa- 
tions. Jan. 9, 1856. Appears in finder a B. oval neb., with n. and nf. 
edges brightest and best defined, and sp. edge fading away gradually ; 
■with higher power there is seen a decided darkness at and between the 
*s, and I can confirm previous observations as to the curve formed by 
the brightest part of neb. Dec. 26, 1856. Nebulosity easily traced as 
in preceding sketch. 
Jan. 21, 1857. r? suspect * in centre. 
Nov. 30, 1850. Same appearance as s Orionis, but very much fainter. 
Jan. 17, 1855. A pretty close cl. of S. #s, followed by four or five B. *s. 
Dec. 11, 1850. I saw no nebs, round 378; sf. about 20' is a triple *, the middle one of 
which is pretty strongly nebs. ; about 36' f. (a little n.) is a d. #, whose brighter 
component is nebs. ; 65' f. 378 is a S. neb. with nucleus or stellar point. 
No description. 
A few B. *3 ; scattered. 
Dec. 28, 1856. Very loose cl. 
Note by observer: “ I have reason to believe that the distance of yS is incorrect.”
