h. 2866, 2867, 2868, 2869. 16 s- 2 added to all the R.A.’s of these nebulae in the 
Cape Catalogue to compensate an error detected in sw. 538. The correction is 
deduced from a comparison of the diagram fig. 20, PI. VI. C.G.H. with the 
place of No. 1171. 
h. 360. 3 S, 3 added to h.’s P.D. to bring it to the place in B.A.C. 
V. 30. The place of V. 30 corrected by + 3 S *2 in R.A. and +25' 45"-4 in P.D. 
to bring it to the place of d 42 Orionis in the B.A.C. 
h. 361 =V. 31. h.’s place corrected by +0 S *4 in R.A. and —0' 27"‘2 in P.D. to 
bring it to that of ; 44 Orionis in B.A.C. 
1185 III. 1. n There are two observations by H. of III. 1, but they differ enormously. 
One agrees with M. 43. The place of M. 43 is corrected to agree with its 
place in the Catalogue of Stars, &c. in the great nebula in Orion, C.G.H. p. 28. 
1191 Chacornac’s recently discovered nebula. Place from Moigno’s “les Mondes,” 
No. 9, p. 241. 
1196 III. 269. Auwers gives as the R.A. of this nebula for 1830 6 h 27 m 57 s , which is 
mistaken by l h . The Philosophical Transactions says that it precedes 19 Leporis 
by 32 m 23 s , and that this is no misprint appears from C.H.’s reductions. 
1226 IV. 24. Annular according to Lord Rosse. 
1287 III. 270. Auwers places this nebula in R.A. 6 h 40 m 20 s , or an hour too late. Its 
place is very distinctly settled by two determining stars, a Leporis and 19 Leporis, 
the former of which it followed by 15 m 4 s , and preceded the latter by 20 m 0 s . 
1425 h. 393=IV. 3. Lord Rosse’s account of this nebula is extremely remarkable. 
“This h. 393,” he says, “is an enormous nebulosity which I have traced f and 
n of it to a great distance — some degrees. It narrows at times to a band across 
the finding eyepiece about 6' or 8'.” 
1440 h. 401 =V. 27= VIII. 5. Retained as a cluster, though but a poor one. Nine 
times examined by Lord Rosse for nebulosity, but none seen. 
1452 III. 271. Auwers places this nebula in R.A. 8 h 3 m 35 s , P.D. 76° 21' (1830). There 
has been some mistake. III. 271 is stated to follow 8 (v3) Canis, 8 m 0 s , and to 
be 4' n of that star, which gives a place agreeing with C.H. and with the present 
Catalogue. 
1454 h. 441 =M. 41. This nebula was also observed by Flamsteed. 
1455) In Lord Rosse’s diagram of this group, aisNo.l457=h. 410 ; /3=No. 1455=410, a\ 
1456 y=No. 1456=410, b ; S=No. 1458=h. 409; and e=No. 1460=410, c. But 
1457 - some suspicion seems to have arisen that the principal nebulae observed were 
1458 not really h. 409, 410, but h. 406, 407. In that case the identification will 
1460 stand as follows : — 
a=No. 1448=h. 406. 
/3=h. 406— 5 s -2 in R.A., and -1' 25" in P.D. 
y=No. 1449=h. 407.
