1850, Feb. 28. EF * near B one, the B *f has a comp". This neb. is part of 
an enormous neby. which I traced f and n to a great dist. some degrees. It 
narrows at times to a band across the finding eyepiece of about 6’ or 8’. I 
fancied the number of B st was greater in it than in the neighbourhood; I 
am certain the number of S st is much less. In a § space taken at random 
in its neighbourhood, I reckoned upwards of 20 F st; in a similar space in 
it, taken at random, but 3. [See P.T. 1861, Pl. XXV., fig. 11.] 
1855, Jan. 17. Appendage is fan shaped, but rounded off at 
the extremities. Fades away very gradually and involves an 
easily seen * nearly south. 
1856, Jan. 11. Seen with all the details as in former obs*. 
1857, Feb. 14. * np easily seen. vv F diffused neby. about 
1' or 14’ n of the recognised nebula ? 
1860, Feb. 18.  Bluish colour. 
1862, Jan. 25. *8m. f is orange, * 10 m. inv. is blue. 
1876, Jan. 1. * 12m. with pB neby like a comet sp, the axis in Pos. 199°. 
* 8:9 m. in Pos. 75°-8 (6), Dist. 102'-3 (6) or f 6*-71, 25-0 n. Definition 
very bad. [* is B.D.+10° 1171 and adopting the place given in Vol. VI. 
of the Bonn Observations, we find the place of 1425 for 1860-0: 6" 24™ 58°31, 
79° 44’ 33/°1.] (XX. obs.) 
1869, Jan. 5. Numerous st, nothing remarkable seen. (I. obs.) 
1866, Nov. 13. One * of the 7 mag. and about 80 ones of smaller magn. 
visible in finder, on a higher power (diam. 15’) I estimated 50 st. (1. obs.) 
1850, Jan. 16. Sketched. [See P.T. 1850, Pl. XXX VIL, fig 10.] 
1850, Dec. 8. 2st in p part; between the head and the main body of the neb. 
a B band extends across, separated from the head by a less luminous portion. 
1851, Jan. 8, and 1851, Feb. 22. 2 st.in p part. B part suspected r. 
1851, Nov. 25. Neb. did not appear to extend as far as the D * np. 
1860, Dec. 19. I think there is a v F * close n of B *; p edge the brighter. 
1862, Nov. 25. An arm seemed to go from the * north, f the main neb. 
1876, Jan. 21. Cometic, * 11 mag. inv. at the sp end, there is a dark band nf 
* across the neb. Sharper on np edge, convex on f edge. Axis in Pos. 
349°. * 9-10 m. Pos. 38°-4 (2), Dist. 143’-5 (4) from * 11 m. orf 6°0, 
IAS) in, (OQ\Vo @L9S4)) 
1851, Feb. 23. A minute companion a little n and another np. Several 8 
st but no Cl. or atmosphere visible. 
1851, Feb. 26. Previous observation confirmed. 
1851, Nov. 29. No neby. 2 st close to it and several others in pairs around. 
About 5’ sp., just before a * are 3 vS st which perhaps have neby round them, 
but appearance probably owing to dew or frost. 
1855, Jan. 20. Certainly no nebs. atmosphere. It is attended however by 28 
st, one nearly n, and onenp. The brighter of the st in neighbourhood 
curiously arranged in pairs. 5' or 6’ ssp there is a ,*,, but none of the 
adjacent stars have a nebulous look. 
1856, Jan. 11. About 5’ sp and just pa b * are 4 vv F st, but I could not see 
anything of the neby. susp. about them (in Nov. 1851). 
1858, Jan. 13. I don’t think there is any neby. in this neighbourhood. 
1863, Feb. 11. 15 Monocerotis is, I believe, nebulous, sketched, st 
nearly of equal brightness except a and 6 (12 m.+), dabout 14 m., 
eabout 16m. Dist. of a from 14 Mon. about 4’. Neb. appearance 
seen both in finding eyepiece and in the higher power, (no dew on 
either), it is F and not seen when the eye has just been looking at 
the sketch and then turned to it. 
1878, Jan. 25. Neby. seemed very real, irreg. shape, does not extend to the 
nearest stars. (IX. obs.)
