April 13, 1855. Dull nucleus ; edge ragged. 
April 15, 1852. Spiral probably ; knot in s. edge, and a # outside p. edge ; another S. neb. 
3' sf, having ^ immediately n. of it. April 16, 1852. Spiral; last night’s observa- 
tion confirmed ; the spiral branch seems to start from the s. edge and go round the 
f. and n. sides as far as the * p. April 19, 1857. A ^ np. and a * . 
in s. edge. Seen thus : — The spiral branch is B. and easily distin- 
guished at sp. edge (a) ; as it extends to f. edge it grows fainter, ^ J • 
and I can trace it no further than /3. The central neb. is vB, and 
has a B. nucleus. The S. neb. sf. is BM. and a IE. Apr. 20, 1857. 
Examined with 1-inch and ^-inch single lenses ; last night’s observation is correct.

Mar. 17, 1849. Suspect it to be a spiral ; though twe saw at moments ring round nucleus.

Mar. 3, 1851. Lenticular; mottled. Mar. 30, 1856. mE. sp, nf; B. nucleus ; very much 
mottled ; the larger half of neb. lies to s. side of nucleus. A B. streak running 
obliquely through the nucleus, and another B. patch to s. end. Apr. 6, 1856. I see 
two patches in s. end, also a *. Apr. 19, 1857. Sketched. See fig. 17, Plate XXVII, 
Apr. 14, 1852. The s. one is E ; the n. one has 2 *s involved.

Apr. 15, 1852. The neby. p. centre is mottled. 
The p. one is S. and the f. one vB. 
3 “ novae ” ; one is S. and E, the others are E. 
Mar. 27, 1856. mE. n. and s ; smbM. to a B. nucleus ; a d. involved in n. extremity ; 
a B. * further distant n.

Mar. 17, 1849. Eoughly sketched ; E, with a split or opening in the direction of major 
axis, and a * a little f. centre. 
Mar. 30, 1854. F ; spiral ? another neb. np. or nearly n ; vF. about 5' distant. Apr. 6, 
1855. Query, of this form ? s ^ n Its light is certainly patchy, and the neb. is IE. 
nearly p. and f ; np. this object is another F. E. neb. with stellar centre. Apr. 13, 
1855. Suspected shape as before, stellar centre. Apr. 16, 1855. My previous con- 
jecture as to shape is rather confirmed by Mr. J. Stonet, who saw the p. branch 
turned off sharply to s. (nearly at a right angle), whereas the f. bend is not so sharp ; 
but this latter branch reaches further round and is rather fainter. The whole object 
is vF. Mar. 27, 1856. Last year’s observations fully confirmed. 
Apr. 26, 1851. Bicentral appearance is very indistinct; the light is mottled; E. ssp. and nnf.
